Next step for WiMAX: Global Roaming

The WiMAX Forum launched its Global Roaming Program today, a means for regional WiMAX network operators to interact with each other in order to implement roaming services. The program, available at Wimaxforum.org, includes a "how-to" manual for launching roaming services, spec sheets, contract templates, and a pre-launch roaming test plan.

While WiMAX deployments are still vastly spread apart, there are currently more than 407 in place across 133 countries.
