The only wimax phones that existed were a few phones on sprint where
clearwire had built out coverage. No other national carrier had wimax and
it was never fully adopted. Now every national carrier and many regional
ones have LTE networks and have committed to that standard. This is
worldwide as well with many carriers going LTE as their new data network.
Wimax was never fully adopted by any industry while LTE has shown it is.

I agree with Patrick that many people here are ignorant of the standards
and the scalability opportunities of LTE. I myself am ignorant of the facts
as well but I'm learning not just from Patrick but reading about the new
LTE releases coming up so I can respond here with educated answers. I
suggest other operators do their research as well instead of just replying
with childish answers to this thread. It is hurting our reputation to whine
and complain about a new product and LTE standards when we don't know what
we're talking about. This technology is working for operators who are using
it so please continue to do more research as we hear from more people
deploying it and then ask fair, educated questions like adults. Thank you
