STILL "just around the corner"

Here we are several years in and WiMAX is STILL just around the corner. Too little too late! Sounds like the Telco's are swinging towards LTE now.

Re: STILL "just around the corner"

LTE will probably not be available on a wide variety of products as WiMAX has a much greater chance to. LTE will be tightly controlled by 3GGP, the telcom industry. WiMAX is controlled by IEEE as is WiFi, independent of carriers and more open to consumer device makers.

WiMAX should do well in dedicated devices like cameras, ebook readers, streaming radios, GPS devices, etc. It will have greater challenges, specifically backhaul challenges, to become a replacement for cable/dsl lines. LTE will have that challenge too in addition to not being available on broad range of consumer products.
