Qwest plans to use a town near Denver to test an emerging wireless technology designed to give residents high-speed Internet access over longer distances.

The Denver telco is in the process of selecting a small-to-midsize burg to deploy WiMax technology on a trial basis.

Industry executives hope that WiMax will usher in a new revolution in wireless communications – one that would give remote Web surfers speedier access to the Internet across distances of up to 30 miles.
