http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2006/10/11/wimax-and-the-death-of-manet%e2%80%99s/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

People tend to forget about it because they usually don't care how much energy their service provider wastes, but this will become a major issue as the prices of energy go up and the costs of broadband to consumer go down. WiMAX is a long-term economically unsustainable technology. WiMAX has an enormously higher power consumption requirements (exceeding a factor of 10000 in some cases) in comparison to multi-hop.
