text: what is next to wi-max? currently wi-max has superseded wi-fi, what is next to it which can cover wider area with high data transfer (e.g hsdpa, uwb) seamlessly? it looks like hsdpa is getting more popular, with data transmission rates of 4 to 5 times that of current generation 3g networks (umts) and 15 times faster than gprs. and uwb can deliver data rates in excess of 100 mbit/s, while using a small amount of power and operating in the same bands as existing communications without producing significant interference. however it is not limited to wireless communication, uwb can also use mains-wiring, coaxial cable or twisted-pair cables to communicate - with potential to deliver data faster than 1 gigabit per second.  though it looks like hsdpa is getting more popular, we may need to wait for a while to see which one of them will integrate into daily life seamlessly.
