Re: Free Wifi Campaign
I think if you think you'll have a range of tens of kilometres with WiMAX with the same sort of "open her up and go" idea, like you get with WiFi, you're in a dream world.

This VERY much depends on what sort of spectrum is used for it, and this will depend on regulatory authorities completely.

Anything above 2GHz and there's going to be a need for more base stations than are currently needed for 3G communications. That's a big ask, unless phone companies go for a voice-over-WiMAX idea.
