Re: No 5G?

There are some WiMax chipsets being shipped with laptops today (Intel was a big supporter of the standard) but as of right this moment there are no voice capable WiMax handsets commerically available for north america. They will be coming soon but LTE is going to be the bigger player even if it is coming later than WiMax. Only Sprint at this point is looking at serious deployment of WiMax and their finances aren't the best.
