Now we know in this country the great opposition to Mobile phone masts being erected, so im not sure, due to these 2 facts that it would be a viable solution in this country to have wifi-max,(im assuming this is what your on about). Or are we on about wimax from mobile phone masts already in situ.

BTW, the US cableVision Wifi over cable are apparently going to be using those same Wireless Docsis2.0 units i pointed too after your post above.
silly doing that i think, as they could at the very least commission a new Docsis3 wireless unit for the upcoming two year plan they have set.
personally id advise they (and VM if they ever get into gear and follow them on this sometime in the UK)look to one or two of the combined Wifi/Wimax chipset SOCs available off the shelf right now for a new long term set of kit.
if not the far more advanced old tec of combining several freqs together (i forget the name but its linked in this thread somewere above by me
) to improve overall throughput and Qos and far better Mesh etc....
