I'm just gonna wait for LTE. These speeds are nothing compared to LTE. |

@spcsdns.net | I heard that LTE was a technospeak acronym for Pie In Skye. Wimax will actually come out, whereas LTE is the flying car of mobile connectivity. |

By the time LTE is out, WiMAX 802.16m will be available, which is spec'd technically to 1Gbps, way higher than LTE. Only Sprint has enough spectrum to do it. But backhaul will be the challenge for ALL 4G carriers. We'll be lucky if 100Mbps is broadly available to every user at every 4G site in 5+ years.
Backhaul will be the limit, not the 4G technology. |

Well to be fair, Verizon Communications, Inc. and at&t Inc. (you can throw in Vodafone Group plc and Deutsche Telekom AG if you want) ARE significantly larger than the Sprint Nextel Corporation and have more financial resources. One wonders how much that really means. |

One wonders how much that really means. True but who is deploying what and when? Yeah.. that's what I thought. Sometimes, being the biggest kid on the block gets you just what you push.. HYPE..  .. |
