LTE doesn't have a frequency band (still being used by PCS), chip manufacturer, or a carrier already using it. All I ever here about LTE is "loose specs" and "it's gonna be awesome when we figure out what it is". This is total bullshit posturing, WiMax is the only system actually deployed overseas- it is called WiMax and WiBro. WiMax is deployed already in 81 COUNTRIES including the U.S. So which carriers are actually using a 4G LTE netork?

Intel
Motorola

TeliaSonera has an LTE network up.

AT&T, Verizon, Bell Mobile, Telus, MetroPCS, and China Unicom/Telcom are all committed to the technology. Verizon will almost certainly have 20 or more markets up by the end of 2010.

Just AT&T, Verizon, and Bell have 182.1 Million subscribers in North America.

While not certain there are other indications from T-Mobile including the natural GSM evolution path that could add another 33.4 Million subscribers in the US, or 150 Million worldwide.

GSM is, outside of the U.S. and Canada one of the only used standards for telcoms. As I mentioned above LTE is the natural evolution path of GSM.]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/ http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/clearwire-says-its-not-married-to-wimax-for-4g-would-be-easy-t/
If WIMAX and LTE networks are capable of running on the same hardware then how are Patrick Plas's comments relevant? I love reading about 'theoritical speeds' and 'backwards compatability' of LTE networks but the LTE v.s. WIMAX 'fight!' is old news. ]]>Feb 4th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/Feb 4th 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/Feb 4th 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/Sprint is amazing.]]>Feb 25th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/
I personally don't care; I'm using Clear right now typing this up. However, if LTE proved to be exceptionally cheaper, I'd jump ship. I just don't think that, for the short haul, LTE will be cheaper.]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/
I haven't seen WiMax phone reviews, which is why I have thought of WiMax as a possible replacement for cable/adsl connection. Just don't think it's available around here (small European country).

They do have a fix but they will only let you pay for it at an ADDITIONAL $139 DOLLARS!!!!! Logged over 200 minutes in phones calls to get credit card refunded and try to get solution for Mac issue. They rather you cancel.]]>Mar 12th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/major-infrastucture-supplier-calls-it-lte-over-wimax/Mar 30th 2010 7:44PM
