well, LTE *is* a GSM technology, and both Sprint and Verizon's 4G will be LTE, so with the rest of the world already on GSM, and the 2 biggest carriers outside Europe not using GSM switching, I'd say that's the rest of the world rallying around LTE.
Also, shouldn't Intel actually be providing any WiMAX service here in the US before they start expanding out to other countries?
Sprint is going Wimax, Verizon is going LTE. I wouldn't say the rest of the world is going LTE since ONLY the majority of the CARRIERS are going LTE, that does not include 3rd party (non carriers) businesses that use wireless transmissions for their business. Just about all of the computer manufacturers will be going with Wimax, especially since Intel is on board with Wimax. In America the financial industry, educational industry, Govt, petroleum industry, etc will all be using Wimax for wireless transmissions. Those industries already use CDMA for their wireless transmissions.
In a bit of irony ATT will be using Wimax for it's residential customers in rural areas.
