New report from editorial research company Sidecut Reports (http://www.sidecutreports.com) looks at how WiMax wireless broadband services might satisfy the growing consumer demand for an iPhone-like, always-on, mobile Internet experience. The 22-page report provides a thorough explanation of the technology, devices, applications and expected consumer use of the country's newest form of wireless broadband access service.

Burlingame, Calif. (PRWEB) November 5, 2008

Sidecut Reports (http://www.sidecutreports.com) is pleased to announce its consumer guide to WiMax, titled "Goin' Mobile: How WiMax Could Change the Consumer Broadband Experience." The report provides an in-depth look at the recent launch of Sprint's Xohm WiMax services in Baltimore, and then explains how WiMax's combination of speed, mobility, and innovative pricing might satisfy the growing consumer demand for an always-on Internet experience.

Prepared in an easy-to-read style with deep background material for those who may not have understood WiMax before, the 22-page report provides a thorough explanation of the technology, devices, applications and consumer use of the country's newest form of wireless broadband access service, as well as what the future holds as WiMax services become available nationwide through the pending merger of Sprint and Clearwire.

In the new report you will learn:

  • What the technology called "WiMax" is, and how it differs from home broadband services like DSL and cable modem, or cellular wireless data
  • How WiMax's ability to keep users connected while mobile might empower new "local nomads" who want to take their Internet connectivity with them from home, to work and on their commutes
  • How new pricing plans that include day passes and single bills for home and mobile service could help consumers lower their Internet access costs
The report also takes a look at the devices currently offered to connect to WiMax networks, and what the future might hold should WiMax connectivity find its way into consumer electronics or even automobiles.

"There's still a lot of confusion about how consumers can take advantage of WiMax, since the services are so new," says Sidecut Reports founder and editor, Paul Kapustka. "Our new guide gives consumers, small business users, investors and entrepreneurs the details they need to determine whether WiMax services are the right choice for an always-on Internet experience."

As economic conditions force consumers to make changes in their spending choices, Internet service providers can win user loyalty by offering more flexibility and value in broadband access choices, Kapustka says.

"To compete for discretionary dollars, all service providers will need to offer cutting-edge services at attractive prices, with flexible plans that don't lock consumers into long-term plans with onerous penalites for early cancellations," Kapustka says. "WiMax offers the promise of true broadband speeds and true cellular-like mobility -- a combination that sets the service apart from existing cable and DSL services. With Clearwire's plans for no long-term contracts and a single bill for mobile and home access, WiMax could be a winner -- even in a down economy."

The new report is available for immediate download from the Sidecut Reports website, http://www.sidecutreports.com, for $149.95.

Readers wanting a more thorough explanation of WiMax technology and its market opportunities in the U.S. can order the omnibus WiMax Report, titled "Game On, WiMax! Why the 'New' Clearwire gives WiMax its best chance at success in the U.S. marketplace." The 49-page report explains in great detail the underlying technology and business models for WiMax, and why the "New Clearwire" deal gives WiMax its best chance of success in the U.S. market. The $299.95 price includes a previously separate 12-page report on Clearwire's wireless spectrum assets.
