Sprint's investment in WiMax actually has less to do with a desire to roll out a 4g network than a desire to not lose valuable Spectrum. Sprint had a bunch of unused Spectrum that the FCC said they would take away from Sprint if they didn't use it. Sprint decided to utilize it with the deployment of a commercially ready 4G technology.

Uh, Wimax is also not an approved 4G standard either. And the fact remains that they are claiming to be the only ones in the world who can change between them without a change in hardware. You mean to tell me the first people who laid it out are the only ones who made such a flexible network? Nobody else in the world could look at what they did and emulate it?
LOL, laughable that anyone would believe that nonsense.
