It’s official: First certified WiMAX gear arrives | telephonyonline.com
In a recent survey it was clear that the 'ecosystem' is the most or second most important factor behind generating momentum behind roll out of WiMAX networks. What any operator needs is the ability to deliver and bill for content & service and that means giving or selling a device to the customer to both use and access content. With this step change many more operators and would be operators can now plan for roll outs and know that users will have a choice of devices to use.

Yahoo under pressure after deal collapse | www.ft.com
Sure, Google gets the best out of the deal with a weakened Yahoo and a non-strengthened Microsoft, but I'm not sure if this deal would have been good for Microsoft anyway.

More importantly, this two-way conversation is inevitable, so it is better to embrace and understand as opposed to ignore.
