The history of WiMAX: a complete survey of the evolution in certification and standarization for IEEE 802.16 and WiMAX

Most researchers are familiar with the technical features of WiMAX technology but the evolution that WiMAX went through, in terms of standardization and certification, is missing and unknown to most people. Knowledge of this historical process would however aid to understand how WiMAX has become the widespread technology that it is today. Furthermore, it would give insight in the steps to undertake for anyone aiming at introducing a new wireless technology on a worldwide scale. Therefore, this article presents a survey on all relevant activities that took place within three important organizations: the 802.16 Working Group of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) for technology development and standardization, the WiMAX Forum for product certification and the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) for international recognition. An elaborated and comprehensive overview of all those activities is given, which reveals the importance of the willingness to innovate and to continuously incorporate new ideas in the IEEE standardization process and the importance of the WiMAX Forum certification label granting process to ensure interoperability. We also emphasize the steps that were taken in cooperating with the ITU to improve the international esteem of the technology. Finally, a WiMAX trend analysis is made. We showed how industry interest has fluctuated over time and quantified the evolution in WiMAX product certification and deployments. It is shown that most interest went to the 2.5 GHz and 3.5GHz frequencies, that most deployments are in geographic regions with a lot of developing countries and that the highest people coverage is achieved in Asia Pacific. This elaborated description of all standardization and certification activities, from the very start up to now, will make the reader comprehend how past and future steps are taken in the development process of new WiMAX features

Getting Past It's Not For People Like Us: Pacific Northwest Ballet Builds a Following with Teens and Young Adults

This case study examines how the Pacific Northwest Ballet set about trying to cultivate the next generation of ballet-goers. Focusing on teens and adults under the age of 25, the Seattle-based ballet company sought in part to knock down the view of many young people that ballet is stuffy or boring and replace it with the view that ballet could be exciting and meaningful to them. The ballet company attacked the problem on a number of fronts, including revising promotional materials to appeal to younger audiences, posting online videos to familiarize viewers with the ballet, holding teen-only previews, and offering heavily discounted tickets. One result was a doubling over four years of ticket sales to teens
