Little by little we are seeing WiMax being implemented in a number of situations, including the announcement by Clearwire to bring their WiMax platform to the Seattle market.

According to a new report by In-Stat, the mobile version of the technology is set to grow at a tremendous rate in the next three years. Their study indicates that overall WiMax users will grow from 222,000 this year to 19.7 million subscribers by 2010, and many of these new users will be leveraging the 802.16e mobile WiMax spec.

In addition, WiMax seems to have seen steady growth in Asia, but we're sure to see more deployments in the U.S. beginning early next year.
