Hi,

It seems that The Register has actually removed some of the countries from Europe as Estonia had commercial WiMAX network already last year. The proof I have right away is the map of the coverage from Norby Telecom here (sorry - in estonian language):

The areas in yellow show the coverage on this map

The news that linked to this map was dated 11.10.2006 and I am sure there were even eariler installations.
