RE: Future of WiMax

["Murphy, Jay, DOH" <Jay.Murphy () state nm us>]

Dude,

LTE and WiMax a more siblings, than distinct rivalries. The technologies will grow together over time, versus, one 
taking the ascendancy, and the other, descent. WiMAX is here today, and long term evolution, well, let's see how the 
futures play out.

The future of WiMAX seems a lot less promising now that FD-LTE is the
clear winner for wide-scale mobile deployment, and TD-LTE, 802.11n and
proprietary technologies will compete for non-paired spectrum and/or
niche markets.

But one can build a network with WiMAX and make money out of it;
global market forces have established the big picture, not what would
happen on a specific scenario.
