Re: when will the bubble burst?
Dude.. you getting way too deep in the speculation. Just because AT&T and VZW are "behind it" doesn't mean the world is going to stop and wait for the next gen of phones  . And WiMAX is way more then just handsets. I like concept cars too and you have some of the biggest car companies showing them off, but till they are on the street, overseas and IN USE.. I don't give them much thought. Besides I like this statement in GIGAOM.
If WiMax is the hippie, grass-roots parents on “Family Ties,” LTE is closer to Alex P. Keaton. The players determining the LTE standard through the 3GPP are comprised of carriers and equipment vendors who have been buying and selling the same proprietary boxes for years. The open, standards-based way of doing business isn’t exactly their modus operandi. I think that's another PLUS for WiMAX. You may enjoy watching video on your phone. I do. Mostly when I'm taking a dump. Watching LIVE tv on my Sprint EVDO phone is cool but useless for the most part. So when the LTE concept/speculation is on the streets, deployed overseas in many areas and in use, other then a lab, it might be worth discussing.. but a lot can happen in 2 years.  |
