With Verizon and AT&T backing LTE it has some legs, but with new connected mobile devices running modern web apps and utilizing VOIP its almost as if the industry can kind of be reset especially with the habits of younger folks that dont talk on the phone all that much.

This certainly makes LTE look like a dying offering especially since the billions spent on 3G will be unlikely to switch. LTE is falling farther and farther behind.<br><br>Also as iphone and smartphone traffic goes up those operators using 10Mhz and less of spectrum so they are handicapped at birth. However, Clearwire is using 10-20x more spectrum more than any other operator so clearly a major throughput and scale advantage.<br><br>That is my Angle on this topic. My Angle on WiMax vs LTE..Clearwire has the benefit of the relationship with Sprint and Comcast to sell bundled services and wide range of devices across all their retail. This certainly makes LTE look like a dying offering especially since the billions spent on 3G will be unlikely to switch. LTE is falling farther and farther behind.

Also as iphone and smartphone traffic goes up those operators using 10Mhz and less of spectrum so they are handicapped at birth. However, Clearwire is using 10-20x more spectrum more than any other operator so clearly a major throughput and scale advantage.

That is my Angle on this topic.
