One big issue in the U.S. broadband industry is getting those high-speed connections all the way out to the boonies. WiMax is seen as one of the potential solutions, and now we learn of some specifics. Open Range Communications, a high-speed Internet and voice operator, has contracted vendor Alvarion to deliver WiMax to various rural areas across the United States. The contract covers 17 states and 546 communities, which could entail a potentially served population of six million. This could be a story worth following, as it could mean big things for WiMax.
