I can't help but Google WiMAX on a daily basis considering, you know, I am the primary WiMAX ("and other type things") blogger here at TMCnet. In today's Google escapade, what to my wandering eyes should appear but WiMAX news in German.

Als Unterwegs-Surfer könnte man meinen, es gäbe mit GPRS, UMTS und WLAN-Hotspots bereits genügend Wege, die drahtlos ins Netz der Netze führen. Weit gefehlt: Jetzt tritt mit Wimax ein weiterer Spieler an, die Partie an sich zu reißen.
If you speak German, good on ya. I hope this was insightful. Since I am still in the process of learning how to grasp basic Italian phrases for my Roman holiday next week (shh! don't even mention to my Italian family that I do not speak anything beyond the bad words!), I used AltaVista's Babel Fish translater:
As a on the way unterwegs-Surfer one could do mine, it would give with GPRS, UMTS and WLAN Hotspots of already sufficient ways, which lead wirelessly into the net of the nets. Far been missing: Now a further player start to actually tear the portion with Wimax.
Hmm. I see. Wirelessly into the net of the nets. I get it. I think.
To clarify, let's pay a visit to heise online, shall we? Yes, this is where I originally found Richard Sietmann, so forgive a girl for trying her darndest to find info that would otherwise be entertaining, if not insightful.
Really, the news is coming from Heidelberg gets city-wide Wimax network:
DBD of Heidelberg aims to set up a Wimax network to cover its entire home town next week. Access will initially be restricted to business customers. However, in the mid-term private users may also be able to take advantage of the DSLonair model for wireless broadband access.
Which makes so much more sense, don't you think?
