Dave -
This is not a simple question. WiMax could, in theory, provide larger
area coverage and thus require fewer cells, less backhaul, etc.
However the value of Wifi is that there are literally millions of
clients in the marketplace and thus the user has little or no (if they
have an integrated WiFi card in their machines) cost to use the
network.
This is not an apples to apples comparison. I would be happy to engage
in the dialog further if desired; I have designed numerous WiFi and
non-standard but effectively Wi-Max networks.
