This is a bit of an overstatement.
It's a mobile wireless standard; basically mobile wireless broadband. It will not compete directly with 802.11. Also, you won't see much traction until 2006 at least.
If anyone is interested I can post more info.
Having said that, the wireless space IS a good area and one set for growth. Bone up on your 802.11 skills, as WLAN is set to grow and grow...
