A great resource for businesses and individuals looking to establish their own 802.16 network. I enjoyed the foresight provided in this book for potential problems faced by network operators. The honesty in the practicality of an 802.16 network as a realistic network solution also made the book a great resource. There was no fantasy scenario or white lies to convince a user of the merit of a 802.16 network beyond what it can do.

Daniel Sweeney has established his credibility as a networking guru beginning with his recognition of two book-length written analyst reports: "Wi-Fi Hotspot Opportunities" (2003) for Forward Concepts and "Godboxes: Multiservice Switching Platforms in the Metro" (2003) for Information Gatekeepers Group. Daniel also wrote Demystifying the Compact Disc, published by TAB Books in 1986.
