Pipex are running consumer trials using Wimax. It’ll be interesting to watch this one as they’re one of only 2 companies to hold licenses that Wimax will be certified on. I thought that they might hold on to the licence ready to sell it off to another wimax provider but it looks as though they’re going for it themselves. The technical trials with Airspan in August 2005 must have gone well. They’ll be able to offer a better QoS than those using Wimax in the unrestricted spectrum. PCCW, the other company holding the licence have rolled out a service using UMTS TDD but are more cautious on Wimax, although they did trial it in 2004.
