Do 3G and 802.16 Compete?

Long interview with Anurag Lal, senior vice president of Business Development at iPass. Thoughtful answers to a few tough questions, one of which was: "What is the difference between 3G and 802.16—aren't these competing technologies?"

"I believe 802.16 will coexist very well with WiFi as well as 3G technologies. In essence help reduce the backhaul cost for those two technology deployments. Over a period of time we will see, in the case of WiFi, more metro-area deployments were WiMAX or 802.16 will be used as the backhaul technology."
