Sprint’s Barry West Thinks So

50 million WiMax phones seems in less than four years seems crazy, but according to Sprint’s head of high speed wireless unit, Barry West, Sprint estimates that their will be 50 million Wimax access devices by 2010. With Sprint’s WiMax deployments expected to go live in 2008, that means they expect an unheard of uptake rate once the service is live.

Given that WiMax is relatively unknown by most consumers, I find it highly doubtful that they will achieve this goal, unless of course they know something about the consumer dynamic that I don’t.
