I wonder if Wimax foneras are meant to catch Wimax signals and transform them into short WiFi signals, or if the Wimax fonera is meant to take ADSL, Cable or Fiber wired internet and transform it into Wimax and WiFi hotspots. Is there such a thing possible as a wimax hotspot using a cheap device such as a wimax fonera? So in a way I would see FON partnering with Google to deploy Wimax using existing ADSL, Cable, Fiber networks as well as expanding Google's dark fiber network to provide some stable Wimax base stations to supplement the at-home Wimax foneras this way to reliably cover everyone with good density bandwidth, the more wimax foneras in densely populated areas providing more bandwidth since each wimax hotspot would be smaller.
