I didn't say we said we were WiMAX. I said : " well, this is what we do" "we use microwave to reach you rather than use the telephone or cable company".
And then I sometimes also say " What we have been doing , going into our 10th year here, is what WiMAX is all about". Sometimes people actually ask about WiMAX, and we explain it to them, but it's not easily understood, the difference. Finding myself explaining about licensed and unlicensed spectrum and standards that aren't set is not an easy conversation, unless the person is technically savy. So I keep it simple.
