Apparently such gear is priced the same or at times cheaper than what the WiMax folks say their gear will cost. The analyst who wrote the report made a very levelheaded comment when he says that the threat from WiMax isn't to 3G or Wi-Fi but to landline providers. He's probably right. All of the wireless technologies will have a sweet spot but at the end of the day WiMax may compete head to head with DSL or cable modem service.

Microsoft also said that Vonage will be its first service provider partner. Earlier this week, Vonage said that it will [2] begin offering voice over Wi-Fi service, but didn't elaborate on what device customers would use to access the service. It's not clear if Vonage will offer voice over Wi-Fi handsets or if the service will hinge on the Windows CE devices.
