One company I know that is in that arena is PROX, but I gave up on tracking them long ago. They closed Friday at $0.92 a share. Not exactly the kind of company I track but I did put them back on my list just to see if earnings start to pick up. Any thoughts?"

Here's an excerpt from this article......

"WiMax is a lot like WiFi, the short-range wireless technology that allows Web surfers to connect to the Internet at Starbucks and other so-called hot spots. But unlike WiFi's 150-foot range, WiMax has a reach of one to 10 miles, offering a way to bring the Internet to entire communities without having to invest billions of dollars to install phone or cable networks."
That's why these companies interest me. I want to know which companies will grow wildly once the technology arrrives."
