WSJ has a right-leaning editorial board and the snark in this
article shows it. They're talking about how Sprint taking up Wimax
negates the whole idea of net neutrality or Internet regulation.
MY question is: will WiMax really enable fair competition? Or will
it just make the duopoly into an oligopoly? What does WiMax really
represent?
