WiFi-G is here, now, whereas WiMax 802.16e was just approved in December of last year. WiFi equipment is very cheap, WiMax, who knows. It depends on what the cities’ expectations are.

He recommends avoiding the current wave of "pre-N" products that don't have guarantees of being able to be upgraded to the final N standard.
