as a direct sales rep for clearwire I can say that nothing is going to be able to compete with wimax due to one reason and that is cost. No other company is going to offer there services at the cost that clear does. Cell phone companys already have a competitor on the market and have not made any attempts to change there pricing to be more competitive. Clear offers a 3g/4g card for $55 a month in most markets that has the same accessability as anything running of sprints cdma network, with no usage cap. Its not about what technology is better but what is a more competitive price and you have to get away from the cell phone companys to find that. Especially in todays economy your average person will not know the difference between the two when surfing therefore from a sales standpoint that doesn't matter. i will sell clear till i die!..lol

Your comment is right on and is what always happens in the marketplace. The superior technology (I'm not claiming that WiMax is superior to LTE or vice versa) doesn't always win out, but rather cost and adaption rates.

All laptops and notebooks you can buy supplied with WiMax. But there are very few cell phones supporting this technology. So if it is war of providers against mobile operators, I hope that it is provider (and WiMax) who will win. Because internet in Russia is chipper and customer-friendly, then all mobile telecommunications companies.

[...] While mobile providers like Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint have been ahead of T-Mobile in the 3G market, T-Mobile looks to become more competitive with 4G on the horizon. Clearwire uses WiMAX technology, a form of mobile broadband emphasizing data transfer over voice. It is also similar to LTE (Long Term Evolution), a mobile broadband technology what will bet in direct competition with WiMAX. They are the two standards that will one day be in place for mobile data transfer. See GIGAOM [...]

Hi, Nice article. I would like to know the technical difference between the both. Both uses OFDM, but why LTE is claimed to be faster and so?. How more bandwidth is achieved ? Looking forward to hear from you. THank you.
