From what people are saying..next gen wimax devices will have hybrid cjips that support both LTE and wimax...either way I see no reason to shut wimax off..

Let put it into perspective...Sprint runs wimax in 10mhz blocks of spectrum...x3 for heavy populace places...thats 30mhz spectrum in heavy areas for more quantity.

Now lets assume they double that for LTE and use 60mhz of spectrum total...that makes a total of 90 mhz used by running both..they still would have 60mhz unused spectrum...sprint has a HUGE 150mhz of spectrum in the 2.5mhz band...there is really zero reason for them to cut wimax off...

And if they do cut it off for whatever reason they will most likely offer a replacement phone for those effected...as stated..
