LTE still has a long way to go.

The industry has been talking about WiMAX for more than four years, and it is finally being deployed now. UMTS was initially to be deployed end of the 90s. It actually took 4-5 years longer than expected.

So expect LTE early in the next decade.

The Clearwire deal is a major breath for WiMax and I think this is probably the most important aspect. Let’s hope that the US example is taken up in Europe in a similarly big way. 3G data contracts here are not exactly user friendly and my last search here in Greece resulted in 50 euros per month for a 30GB monthly volume limit. Obviously more competition is needed.
