BTW the cool thing about LTE is that it's an all-IP network. All traffic on LTE will be in the form of data packets, including voice and text messages.

Well, as was mentioned in the first url I put, even sprint is seriously considering the LTE network, they already have the WiMax network in place, it'll just be a matter of time before they realize that the WiMax network will be over-shadowed by LTE, at least for the cellular network. Wireless internet on the other hand, is by any means better on the WiMax network. But having the same speed in the palm of your hand as well as through your desktop/laptop. Now thats something to marvel at!
