"On a global scale, WiMAX may be folding under the pressure of LTE, but that's not stopping the next-gen technology from catching the attention of mobile web surfers in Japan. UQ Communications is gearing up to start a WiMAX trial for citizens located in one of the 23 wards of Tokyo, Yokohama or Kawasaki, and at first, speeds will be capped at around 16Mbps down / 4Mbps up. If all goes well, those figures will creep up to a mighty impressive 40Mbps / 10Mbps when the full-on launch occurs in July. The best part? Folks can apply now to get a free data card in order to be a guinea pig, and even after the test period ends, those who want to join in can get service for just &amp;yen;4,480 ($50) per month without any sticky contracts attached. Hit up the read links for all the nitty-gritty.[Via PortableMonkey]Read - WiMAX trialRead - Data card details"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
