...Well, 32-bit microcontrollers, especially multi-core designs with sophisticated peripherals, are in many ways highly flexible ASSPs. That is really a more accurate characterization than to call them MCUs in anything but a purely architectural sense. As such, they can compete against ASSPs from fabless semiconductor vendors. But they can also compete against FPGAs, offering lower design time, higher performance, much better power consumption, and much lower price for large designs...

It's a challenge that has proved insurmountable for several top Motorola executives.

AT&T CTO John Donovan said ...the telco is interested in using WiMAX to extend broadband coverage in rural markets where it would be more expensive to deploy wireline broadband. AT&T has run WiMAX pilots in the past, and always has maintained an interest in the technology. Also, AT&T gained several 2.3Ghz licenses in Southern US markets through its acquisition of BellSouth. BellSouth had aggressively commercialized on broadband wireless in those markets and had been an active supporter of WiMAX Forum certification for the 2.3Ghz frequency.

India's Tata Communications, formerly known as VSNL is planning to expand its WiMAX coverage from the current 60 towns to 115 during this financial year and is considering taking its broadband WiMAX services to four or five cities.
