Revenues from wimax 802.16e broadband subscribers will exceed $15 billion globally by 2014, according to a release by Juniper Research. The analyst said that WiMax will provide an improved experience for broadband customers who are receiving low speed DSL or cable modem services, but is facing a lot of challenges including: Spectrum auction postponements in several countries; funding problems from the credit crunch; and slow network implementations. This has caused Juniper to lower its expected revenue forecast?a year ago it as predicting $20 billion in service revenues by 2013. The report author went so far as to say it is “the cusp of make or break time for WiMAX”.
Other findings in the report include that North America, Far East & China and Western Europe together will account for 70 percent of market by 2014, and that Africa and the Middle East, South America, the Indian Sub Continent and Eastern Europe will together be worth some $4bn by 2014. (release)

Feb 16th
Just in time for the Mobile World Congress, the wimax Forum announced that WiMAX Service Providers now offer networks covering 430 million people (aka POPS) globally and are on a path to nearly double to 800 million people by the end of 2010. In addition, global WiMAX network deployments are approaching 460 in more than 135 countries for fixed, portable, and mobile networks.
One of the important sources of growth for the further WiMAX network deployments are the new spectrum licenses anticipated to be allocated in countries such as Brazil and India. Additionally, the ecosystem can expect to see continued subscriber growth as consumers and enterprises recognize the availability of WiMAX as a high-speed low-cost alternative to other Internet technologies.
