WiMAX Feasibility Study for California Released
November 15, 2005
Tellus Venture Associates, in collaboration with Coast2Coast Technologies, completed a study for the City of Folsom, California that determined that a citywide WiMAX system is financially and technically feasible, and would help drive economic development.
The conceptual system design and business case evaluation envisioned a low cost WiMAX system with a multi-layered business model that would enable public WiFi access, next generation municipal and corporate networking solutions, entrepreneurial ventures, and innovative applications for new communities of users, such as health care providers.
"A WiMAX system can potentially provide a significant competitive advantage to businesses in Folsom, and offer residents more convenience and flexibility in their lives," said Joseph Luchi, Economic Development Coordinator for the City of Folsom. "We're excited that local companies are already involved in the pilot project approved by the city council, and we're looking forward to beginning the test."
As a next step, the study recommended establishing a pilot project that would bring together interested organizations to deploy a pre-WiMAX network as a proof of concept for the system itself, as well as for various new technologies. The Folsom City Council reviewed the study and approved the recommendations on November 8th, 2005.
The study is available at Tellus Venture Associates.

WiMax can't be implemented soon enough. DSL and Cable is not available in many areas. Phone service and WiMax service are the essential services we need to be competitive in 21st century. Most of us have phone service but there are still areas in New Jersey (most densly populated state) without telephone service! Cable modem prices are skyrocketing out of sight! Hopefully wimax won't rip us off.

It is important to note the affordability of Wimax to the mass will be determine by the cost of the chipset.....if prices can match Wi-Fi, we are in business.
