I think the ultimate goal will be to eliminate standards such as wifi, bluetooth and etc and have a universal wireless standard where everything acts as a repeater.

Then interference can be prevented by multi-sourcing and comparing bits.


Also, the NASA satellite approach is better then then what direct tv for example uses as it will have multiple satellite sources thus giving signals from all directions.


One thing also we may want to remember is wimax is also very good back-haul of data. If wimax reaches the 2.0 spec of 1gbps it will make a very good replacement for standard optical lines.

This plays into my idea of "ultimate goal" as if you notice wimax and LTE are very similar in specs and can merge later on..it also resembles wifi..and with new 60hz wigi standards will also include wifi compatibility.

Now here is where wimax shines even more...if you remember cable companies signed on wimax..so their goal is to receive wimax signals for video in the future..but at same time they can act as a mini cellphone tower for 500m for example.

Now add the NASA plan of sending data via satellites..lets say new york has rain storms but new jersey is fine, it sends wireless to new jersey and then hops via these miniature cell towers to the source.

The key goal is to add compatibility between the standards and wonders we now have a super network that can have internet all over the world cheap and efficient. Think of making the internet 1 giant cloud network...
