Matt Take me down to the paradise city Premium join:2003-07-20 Jamestown, NC ·North State Commun..	reply to patcat88 Re: Wimax is next said by patcat88 : said by Matt : LTE is going to be either carrier-locked, or prohibitively expensive pay-per-byte. Those will be the two models to choose from. How can it be carrier locked when its GSM? Will the SIM card be suddenly dead? That makes the standard useless in Europe, market wont tolerate it there. #1 It is GSM based. Not a direct implementation of GSM. #2 The main component of LTE, HSOPA, can be adapted to CDMA. It would be MUCH cheaper for a CDMA carrier to do this than to convert all their equipment and towers to full fledged GSM.
