So will these new devices be able to run on the CDMA Network as well as the 4G network? They better! In case you can't get the 4G coverage?

prob not. my sprint rep told me that with the data plans that we have now there is a 5gb cap. devices like the mifi and the u598 are 3g and still are on a 59.99 a month plan. he said that the 4g plan will be unlimited but no price points for the plans yet. so if the overdrive is offering online gaming and streaming HD content there has to be no cap.

that and wimax will be marketed not only for mobile phones and laptops but also as a more powerful and versatile alternative to wifi imagine your psp or ipod or tv, ps3, wii, xbox 360 (or their nextgen counterparts) with with in built wimax without the need for home internet or wireless kinda of a good idea, it may not need to compete directly with lte to be successful

That’s what I am hoping to see. Sprint just a background player providing high speed unlimited data, the consumer pays one flat rate and picks their devices etc. As far as I'm concerned it would be nice just to avoid the cell phone game all together. Customer picks their own device bought thru the manufacturer Sprint provide unlimited data for one flat rate and customer picks their VoIP provider.
