Texas provider outlines pre-mobile WiMAX rollout
In February 2006, Xanadoo described a fixed wireless rollout in Texas before mobile WiMAX had become the focus of the market.
What was announced or reported
The record places a live service in Lubbock and names Wichita Falls and Abilene as next locations. The company presented the offer as an alternative that avoided a complex modem setup, annual agreement and bundled landline or video service.
Context and limits
Its listed tiers ranged from 128 kilobits per second to 1.5 megabits per second. Those figures and the plan details describe a proposal from that date, not a statement about service availability now.
Why the distinction matters
Fixed wireless proposals were often evaluated against the installation and contract terms of local wired alternatives. The source gives no coverage map, capacity measurement or rollout result, so it supports only the limited description of the announced plan. The announcement is best understood as a local fixed-access proposal.
