Re: Whats the big deal with 4G?

Wimax is worldwide, just not worldwide on the cell market. Japan is almost 100% covered in Wimax, but its for mobile internet. Almost all of Europe has a pretty strong coverage, except for England. What sprint is doing is moving their service more towards a VOIP based system. This is brilliant if you ask me, as it opens up the technology to be 100% IP based systems.

LTE was developed specifically for the cellular telephone market, where WiMax was designed to be mobile internet and is being adapted to be a telephone. With the way I see businesses going to VOIP for their office lines, etc every day in my job, I love the idea of WiMax 4G coming.
