Peak download rates of 326.4 Mbit/s for 4×4 antennas, 172.8 Mbit/s for 2×2 antennas for every 20 MHz of spectrum.

Want to give a service with even more bandwidth than that? Easy, just give more spectrum in any of LTE’s 11 bands – in slices as small as 1.25MHz!

Nice.

LTE is definitely a 4G technology -- its very name demonstrates this: Long Term Evolution (of UMTS). The long term evolution of a 3G technology would be, by definition 4G. As for WiMAX, FDMA is currently unsupported. Yes, there is support in 802.16e, but so far no finalized profile from the WiMAX Forum. Without the profile, there is no non-proprietary equipment and thus no way to do a wide-scale commercial deployment. That said, there would be such a profile damn quick if Verizon or the like showed interest, so I do agree that if they wanted to Verizon could certainly deploy WiMAX.</p> K, I like WiMAX too, but you are just plain wrong.
