Does anyone really consider WiMAX to be 4G, except for Sprint? Most American carriers have bet on LTE, which has a theoretical max of ~170 Mbps.
Whether Verizon and AT&T can keep their deployment schedule (2013 and 2011, respectively), is another question, but at least they were smart enough to avoid the band-aid that is WiMAX.
- mmt 17y agoI've only ever considered the ordinal-G terms to be marketing fluff. Even WiMAX is technically inspecific, though I think it's always the mobile version (even if used in a non-mobile implementation), in this context. I, of course, care about actual speed, not marketing "generation" nor advertised speed.
