Intel is working with city leaders in Houston County, Georgia to discuss building what could be the first WiMax network in the country: Intel has a close relationship with Houston County High School because it has given the school a $30,000 wireless technology lab. The idea for the WiMax network hatched from that relationship.
The plan is very much on the drawing board though, with no one yet volunteering to fund the network, which should cost around $2 million to build, including towers.
