From the Paper:

"WiMAX, the abbreviation for the term "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access" is often defined as the most promising new technology that can provide a viable broadband wireless access alternative to cable modem service, telephone company Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service and T1/E1 service. It offers a potentially broader and higher-quality range of combined applications than either cable or DSL including: broadband internet access, T1/E1 substitutes for businesses, voice-over Internet protocol (VoIP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), backhaul for Wi-Fi hotspots and cell phone towers, mobile telephone service, mobile data TV, mobile emergency response services, and wireless backhaul as substitute for fiber optic cable (Ohrtman, "What is WiMAX," 2008, Sec.1-4). Because of its voice-over and television components, it could provide an alternative to both telephone and cable television carriers, not simply domestically but worldwide."
