The article is kind of pointless. I don't think anyone is expecting that all the capital needed to rollout WiMaxand LTE is just going to be scrapped when the next new thing comes along. Of course it is the economincs that drives deployment. If that wasn't the case we'd already have thrown away EVDO because it's getting pretty old now. Are we going to be complaining in 2015 that we only have 300 mbps available per basestation? Probably not but maybe. If there is a compelling business case then somebody will build the next new thing at that point. It really depends on how mobile data is imbraced by the general public. People on this site are still really the early adopters of mobile data. Most people still just want to be able to place a call.
