It’s been released that Intel have manufactured a WiMAX chip which will enable wireless activity but unlike the few metres wi-fi gives, WiMAX can receive connection several miles away.

They have agreed to trial test this product with BT all over the world to try making ‘low internet strength’ areas obsolete making a milestone in the computer industry no doubt. this could cause problems for lesser internet savvy users who do not know about file protection and privacy as someone could log onto their WiMAX router and use their download limit and connection for personal use but the obvious solution it to password protect the router with a network key so it makes it harder to be hacked.

As you know this new technology break through will more then likely cost the earth, especially while still in the early days but its been said by Intel’s general manager there pushing the equipment to be sold at around $200 making it affordable for the average family.
