Standards

Too many different proprietary standards these days.

Re: Standards

That's exactly Sprint's vision, they want to allow absolutely ANY WiMax-capable device to operate on their network, Thats why they are making it contractless. You, as a customer, can either buy from them, or just bring in your own device. It's pretty much fundamentally different from the cellular network structure. Instead of proprietary standards and equipment/software, its completely open to any capable device. View it as WiFi, just with HUGE range.

Re: Standards

Right, WiMAX is an IEEE standard. Devices makers follow the standard and don't have to have any interaction with the carrier.
