Cant we enjoy 3g for at least a few weeks before we start talking 4g?

P.S. sprint is going to be gobbled up by directtv/comcast/timewarner/verizon in the next few years anyways

What? EVDO is 3G, WiMAX is far superior.

Re: 3g

Yes, but in the context of this discussion, WiMAX is not in the same league as Edge or EV-DO Rev. X versions more commonly associated with the nomenclature of 3g, and most certainly being referred to in the comment above. It was simply a political move to get WiMAX classified as 3g. The vendors still refer to it as 4g and many of us know it is somewhere in between the two.

Re: 3g

A better way to put it is that WiMAX is on the 4G _roadmap_ but 4G spec hasn't been officially defined yet. It will probably require MIMO antenna use to be 4G, which WiMAX is capable of.

Re: 3g

I guess they better change all their brochures and signage then... "Powered by WiMAX, a fourth generation (4G) wireless internet technology." right off the brochure..
