“Even though we and the industry as a whole are at the early stages of discovery and development, the industry momentum is remarkable. To have innovators like Nokia working to bring WiMAX and other broadband wireless technologies to the masses is very encouraging,” said Sean Maloney, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s mobility group.
