Sprint Invests In Wireless Broadband / Mobile TV Technology
It's a fistfight for 4g!
ME2! So many acronyms to keep straight lol. Hopefully it turns out to be one clean winner. I don't want a repeat of the beta vs VHS days in the world of Wireless! We alreadymight have one of those on our hands with blu ray vs hd dvd!
...
I wonder if our chances of getting brain cancer increase with each new acronym manufacturers manage to jam into their handsets.

Yes indeed and in contrast to what the wimax camp wants you to believe.
IP Wireless has had numerous commercial networks since 2002 i believe. They are all pretty much for fixed wireless and latency is supposedly a problem, meaning voip would be a problem. Its part of UMTS though and it can improve.
I think sprint will go with IP Wireless (UMTS TDD or TD-CDMA) or with Flarion/qualcomm's FLASH-OFDM. The latter is furthest along in mobility, supporting full high-speed mobility, and VoIP support.
Who will win? I happen to believe that WiMAX is trailing but a large amount.
