The Global Mobile WiMAX Congress is the meeting place for mobile broadband business leaders. It is for the next generation of mobile broadband service providers: new entrants or existing fixed, mobile or broadband operators and the executive management of operators and service providers who attend to get the information they need to make the right decisions on mobile WiMAX. The congress is focused tightly on service provider strategies in response to the mobile WiMAX opportunity and evaluating business models for success in this marketplace.

Time to market seems mission critical for mobile broadband technologies and most speakers seemed convinced that the wireless broadband crown has already been passed to WiMAX.

The congress will enable business leaders to understand and evaluate the mobile WiMAX opportunity, get the latest updates on spectrum allocation, standards evolution, technology roadmaps, device availability - and of course the evolution of the consumer market for content and applications that will drive the personal broadband revolution. The programme will examine the business case for WiMAX in all its variations.
