WiMAX/LTE may not meet the technical definition but they are on the 4G roadmap while HSPA+ is not. WiMAX/LTE may not be superhigh speed to a single user but the infrastructure allows for handling many more users at once at a higher performance level than 3.xG.

And you base this on what exactly? Hspa+ calls for a high speed all ip backend. Identical to LTE. The spectral efficiency is nearly identical. It's actually MORE efficient than wimax. Oh, and it's on the 4g roadmap for every single gsm operator. Even Verizon includes hspa+ in what it considers the "4g competition". -- "What makes us omniscient? Have we a record of omniscience? ...If we can't persuade nations with comparable values of the merit of our cause, we'd better reexamine our reasoning." -United States Secretary of Defense (1961-1968) Robert S. McNamara

HSPA+ is on the roadmap to 4G actually, it's called LTE-Advanced which is the evolution of HSPA+ which is the evolution of GSM technologies -- 2010 Ford Fusion Sport
