Re: Sweet

The GSM/LTE path will mostly be focused on carrier based services. WiMAX will attract any kind of consumer electronics device since it doesn't require carrier involvement, just IEEE standards. In most cases, electronics makers just need to drop in a WiMAX chip just as they drop in a WiFi chip today. Not that simple with LTE.

I could see PSP and Nintendo DS with WiMAX down the road, not LTE.

exactly, integrating LTE/EVDO requires a relationship with the carrier, while WiMax doesnt.

Yup:
EVDO, UMTS/HSDPA will typically be more expensive, feature filled / contract fixed services, with limitations

WiMAX is more like the next generation of WiFi, and will be more 'available' from small indie carriers, but will be restricted to the footprint that WiMAX delivers. Hopefully, in the end, this won't be another 'iDEN', restricted by 1 carrier, 1 manufacturer and their specific buildout plans.
