| Which markets? Verizon says 25-30 markets... have they announced which ones yet? Would be easy to setup a couple dozen small towns with a dozen sites and call it a significant launch.
Will be interesting to see how much backhaul they actually provide to each site. WiMAX too can perform that well if close to the site and enough backhaul provided.
Competition is good but I would prefer to see WiMAX succeed as it's controlled by IEEE and the consumer electronics industry is already tied in. LTE is controlled by the evil telcom industry and will have tight control over what devices make it to market. |

| Qualcomm is involved in LTE. That right there should be enough reason to avoid it. They have gouged those of us on CDMA for a long time and they will do the same with LTE. Since they hold key patents it isn't like anyone will get around paying them something. |

big markets, cant say witch ones but they are NOT talking about little towns. I think it will be similar to what AT&T has for 3g now |
