Over the last couple of weeks, I've been browsing the following websites - wimax.com, wimax-industry.com, wimaxxed.com, wimaxforum.org, 80216news.com, and wimaxtrends.com. These are the ones I mentioned in my post dated March 03, 2006. Here's a brief summary of my thoughts.
IMHO, if you are new to the world of WiMAX, these two are the best sites to begin with: wimax.com and wimaxxed.com. The best thing I liked about them was the abundance of news articles. Not only are these articles new, but they are from a variety of sources and report on happenings all over the world. It is hard to choose from between the two since they have different things going for them. wimax.com has additional information in the form of white papers (from Alcatel, Alvarion, Fujistu, Intel, Redline among others), links to events, and a substantive FAQ. They also provide WiMAX education and training targeted at engineers and management. On the other hand, they have lots of annoying blinking ads on their site, podcast links that didn't seem to work, a few polls but without any indication of the sample size and therefore useless in terms of making any informed conclusion, a job site that had only seven listings, and message boards that seemed languid in terms of posting activity. wimaxxed.com has a lot of news and no annoying blinking graphics. On the other hand, they don't have any message boards or white papers.
wimaxforum.org is the website of the WiMAX alliance which is a consortium of WiMAX industry companies aimed at promoting interoperatibility standards for broadband wireless access. They too have a lot going in terms of reports, white papers, and news, albeit not as many as the afore-mentioned two sites. If you want to know what companies are working in the WiMAX area, this is by far the most comprehensive site.
The other sites didn't have a lot of features that would make them stand out from the rest. All of them had the annoying blinking ads. wimaxtrends.com didn't seem to like my Firefox browser. I could see Microsoft ODBC errors displayed on the front page. They had a couple of weekly features with no date. However, they do have a long list of vendors. For people looking for that specifically, this is useful. There were no white papers and only a few reports. You had to buy the reports. All news links were pointers to external URLs some of which didn't work. On wimax-industry.com, the latest article was more than 45 days old. They too had a good list of vendors. There was a listing of books which were simply links to amazon.com. The forums were links to Yahoo groups. This was quite similar to 80216news.com - forums that linked to Yahoo groups, books listings that linked to amazon.com, and research reports links that were non-functional.
Overall, I think wimax.com, wimaxxed.com, and wimaxforum.org are the best in terms of learning and keeping up with the happenings in the WiMAX world. You could visit the rest once in a while when time permits.

Cost-free Proxy Servers are used for anonymous browsing. Most common utilization of totally free proxy server is to bypass the higher education/place of work or any other place's safety limitations and access unrestricted sites. But [url=http://www.scrapestuff.com/scrapebox-resources ]private proxies vs shared proxies [/url] servers really should be used with caution. If utilised without having protection steps, it can outcome in large loss as in contrast to advantage of searching the net anonymously. There are two techniques via which you can conceal your id (your IP address) when browsing the internet. Initial and the most cheap way is to use cost-free proxy server. There are several windows and linux proxy internet sites offered on the web which lets you use their providers totally free of cost. The other alternative for hiding your id is to use paid software. The IP hiding software, modifications your IP address repeatedly to allow you browse web anonymously.
There are couple of critical factors you require to keep in thoughts when employing free of charge proxy servers.
one.) Observe out for your stability
Do not give out any sensitive information this sort of as your login facts or credit score card info when using distinct proxy servers due to the fact when you use totally free proxy server, all the data you provide on any site is first sent to totally free proxy server and then to the web site server. So all the details go via the totally free proxy server and most of the time it is unencrypted, exposing your sensitive information for potential misuse.
Paid software are a lot far better in conditions of safety. There methods are developed to conceal your IP and then discard all your details with out any human involvement.
two.) Balance and Availability
There are numerous totally free proxy server internet sites but most of them are not secure and are not accessible every single time you check out them. This problem is not quite substantial with paid out computer software.
three.) Velocity of Browsing
When you use any proxy server for hiding your IP, you can truly feel the gradual pace of searching instantaneously. Even though there are great websites available for anonymous browsing but they are very challenging to discover. Also, velocity is not steady it is dependent mainly on load on their servers. At instances you do get good browsing pace but it's not steady. Once again, paid software for hiding IP are significantly far better at searching speed. As they cost for their solutions, they ensure that the person encounter is much better and you do not get sluggish pace although searching the web through their software program.
They are also wonderful when you find a quality one that masks your place of origin. When looking for a Online Proxy make confident it has Java installed so you can look at videos. As you can sometimes have your place of origin cloaked but if java does not work it is not a lot use.
