Even spell check doesn't help your grammar buddy. 😳
WiMax barely works as a fixed point to multipoint service. Imagine whats going to happen when you put a bunch of mobile devices in the mix on the fringe of coverage?
I think sprint has a dud on their hands.

This post is one of the reasons the spell check button was added. Please govern yourself accordingly. You made my head hurt!

Just curious, what would you refer to WIMAX as?
In my initial post I meant to say that, "Why Wouldn't LTE be defined as 4G."
I feel for there to be a 4G technology in cellular it needs to be just that. An evolution in Cellular data would need to be fourth Generation.Sony Ericsson Came up with a new EDGE that does 1.8 MBPS per second. LTE Does many Megabytes per second over cellular networks. This should be 4G an evolution in data within the cellular realm.

An enhanced EDGE network could probably be considered 2.75 G, wouldn't it? Since EDGE itself was only 2.5 G.
HSPDA is considered GSM's 3G service here.
you can call it whatever you want", like 5G, 6G...
That doesn't make a bit of sense. Even Japan doesn't even have 4G yet, and they are always the leaders.
Anyway, sounds like Sprint may bite the dust soon...

In this case, WiMax is Sprint's 4th generation network, whereas LTE will (if it gets rolled out) be AT&T's, Verizon's and T-Mobile's 4th generation network.
I think I've read elsewhere that Japan's already streaming movies to their cell phones. Imagine what generation that will be here! 😳
