From slashdot.org this morning

"Three companies have teamed up to turn the Space Needle into a giant WiMAX antenna. Bruce Chatterley, CEO of Speakeasy, announced it will be the biggest deployment of it's kind in North America with six towers, one placed on the Space Needle and five others around the city , beaming a signal over a 5 square mile area. Don't put away those 802.11b/g cards just yet, as WiMAX is projected to cost $500 a month for 1.5Mb service."

$500 per month for 1.5Mbps in the USA ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

Slashdot made a mistake.
That's $800 for a 6Mbps service.
Those guys are trying to sell that service as a replacement for business T1 thats why the prices are so high.

I see ... so much for cheap wireless broadband .

Dont worry, when Telkom starts their commercial WiMAX then that price above will look like a steal..
