For the "LTE Vs. WiMax" folks, Clear has already said they could change their towers to LTE without too much effort. I'll honestly be pretty surprised if T-Mob, AT&T and VZ do opt to all build out their own networks for LTE. As Clear has demonstrated, the costs are enormous even with big backers. I could see Clear changing to LTE and with the backing of t-mob or AT&T or VZ, or even t-mob deciding to back a WiMax standard to save the cost of building out a network. I really don't see those three all building out their own 4g network.
Clear obviously aren't worried about WiMax 2 because...there is currently no competition in the mobile broadband space. As several comments pointed out above, they're probably more concerned with opening new cities(SF and NY this year) than they are with increasing bandwidth in their current cities where they have no competition.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.
