Ex:-   Broadband – Very expensive Wi-Fi – Not accessible from everywhere. Need to be in the Wi-Fi hotspot area Dial-up – Speed is so low Therefore a new method to connect to the Internet was needed to be found excluding the weaknesses of the current methods. Some of the features expected from that new method are as follows. # Must be speed than the others # Must be accessible from anywhere; under any circumstance # Must not be expensive and able to plant it easily A new technology with all the above-mentioned features has been developed since 2001. By the time it has become much popular in the present as well. That technology is not anything else. It's the ‘ WiMAX Technology ' ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ).
