There's just no way in hell Verizon (or any US teleco) would miss a chance to lock people into their service. Making a standard broadband wireless format is their worst nightmare: customers would have the ability to leave them if they found a better deal elsewhere.

Plain and simple, the best thing for consumers is for the telecos to offer big, fast, dumb pipes and then let people choose their own services on top of that foundation. It gets rid of the ability to segment services out and soak customers. So of course it's the last thing in the world the telecos are going to offer. That's why you can't take your 3G phone from AT&T to T-Mobile (or any other kind of device portability). Everything in telecom makes sense when you understand that the businesses are incredibly hostile to the consumer.]]>Mar 24th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/I could be wrong but doesnt switching to LTE standards ensure cross compatibility? I mean, once both AT&T and Verizon move to LTE and TMobile later down the line shouldnt all phones be changeable between carriers?

Of course one of the biggest carriers doesn't want cross compatibility; it would cut into their revenue stream if consumers had the freedom to pick and choose the best service for their needs without device lock-in.

It's also typical of the FCC and Congress that they're too chicken-sh*t or too bought, to do anything about it.

I hate when people say LTE is a dead tech. The old beta max analogy is ignorant. Beta-max tapes were never meant to be made by the company that makes the players. So wimax towers will work with wimax phones, just like Hyundai parts magically fit on Hyundai cars.

And have you been in a VZW store lately?? Samsung, LG, HTC, Motorola and every other major manufacturer besides RIM makes Sprint and Verizon phones seperate. There is only one phone that Sprint and VZW sell thats identical thats not a blackberry. So if every phone company ALREADY MAKES SPRINT AND VZW seperate how is Wimax vs. LTE gonna change anything???

Not to mention LTE WiMax dual mode chips are coming, every 3G GSM phone uses CDMA and TDMA, and Sprint released several CDMA/ Iden phones already.

Funny how people are calling the fastest growing 4G standard dead... LTE isnt even finished being born yet..]]>Mar 24th 2010 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/Mar 24th 2010 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/
Check the list of networks you sent and read it. They're mostly 802.16d (fixed old wimax versions...) not covering even 1 complete city per country. Wimax is used for broadband access where no instrastructure is present. Check the number of subscribers of WiMAX in the world... and look what they use WiMAX for... it's freaking fixed low capacity cheap connection.

Wimax it's not 4G. Please read 3GPP or 3GPP2. Neither LTE is 4G. This is the biggest scam for telecom consumers I've seen in my life.

Of course, there will never be WiMAX convergence to LTE. It's impossible. Both use OFDMA.. yes! so what??? The problem are patents and world's almighty telecom standard producer, 3GPP, which by no means need to be compatible to WiMAX. WiMAX is small, will survive in the US. But differently to what happened with CDMA IS-95, at least now you guys will have AT&T and Verizon, and if you're wise you can keep up with the rest of the world.

Check CES 2010 in Barcelona, the most important telecom event in the world... did you see any (at least 1) telecom provider even mentioning WiMAX? Analyze guys and touch ground.]]>Mar 25th 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/clearwire-ceo-mentions-that-wimax-could-join-lte-as-one-verizon/
