Everyone is on the LTE bandwagon simply because............


Everyone is on the LTE bandwagon.

Simple as that. To be successful in other parts of the world. You have to be innovative. To be successfull in the US, you need to ride on the cotails of bigger corporations and your competitors. If you attempt to be innovative by providing more bang for the consumers buck. the larger corporations will just muscle you out.

You got two choices.....
LTE or Wimax

To the consumer it's as simple as that. To network carriers it's not..You have two other choices....

Go with what everyone else is offering or go on your own.

To go on your own puts you in a you against them.
To go with the status quo puts you in a "us" against you.

The problem here is that now you have a technology that's spread across 4 networks. and one sole network trying to run it's own technology.

This is setting you up for a failure...If you are sprint, and I am verizon or tmobile or at&t.

Any one of these companies can go to the table and say hey fellas. How about we open up our 4G networks to each other, this would boost our abilities to provide better service for our consumers. <---some b.s like they really care about us but really it's just to cover their butts in a monopolistic challenge with the fcc.

They all say sure thing!

Now you got sprint touting 4g service, then you got verizon/at&t/tmobile touting the same service with 3 times the coverage...now people jump ship and divide themselves amongst the three carriers.

Now sprint goes kaput. Then the three carriers soup up all the displaced customers. Then setup an equalized pricing scheme. Verizon/tmobile and at&t all charging the same prices for the same service since essentially they are all tied in together. Now it's just a matter of time before the merger falls in then you have one giant company running the show.

Whoa......all that cause sprint chose to stay the lone ranger.

"There's innovation and there's US (united states)"
