A study from ABI Research urges service providers that plan to use WiMAX not to ignore small and medium size businesses: While the firm concludes that by 2008, 42 percent of subscribers will be residential, another 16 percent will be small or medium businesses. Those businesses tend to churn less than consumers and will likely spend more on their connections so operators would be wise to target them.
ABI expects that combined revenues for 802.16 and 802.20 should pass $1.5 billion by 2008.
