Re: rev B?
Sprint is rolling out what is known as WiMax Wave 1 right NOW. Baltimore goes live THIS MONTH!
LTE won't go live for another 3-4 years and by then, WiMax wave 2 will be rolling out.
Sprint wants to bring a highspeed wireless network out now instead of 3-4 years from now. Sprint thinks that a wireless citywide real world connection speed of 2-4 mbps will draw people in and they're right. LTE may be faster, but it's also 3-4 years away.
Maximum speed of WiMax wave 1 is 70 mbps.
WiMax and LTE also use very similar technologies.
