Deconstructing The NY Times On Towerstream

I was getting all worked up to rip apart the NY Times for writing a dreadful article about Towerstream, which included a number of factual errors and other questionable statements, but Glenn Fleishman has already torn the article apart, pointing out a number of inaccuracies, most of which wouldn't have been hard to figure out with just the slightest bit of research. How many times does it need to be said that WiMax doesn't exist yet before the press will understand it? Of course, the answer is that by the time they actually realize they've been wrong all these times, maybe WiMax will actually be available -- though, then reporters will have to figure out why it doesn't actually work as well as they keep claiming it obviously will work.
