T-Mobile USA Calls WiMax 'Niche,' Prefers LTE
Isn't T-Mobile..
Not quite a powerhouse, but definatly a company you'd want to have on your side as an emerging technology developer.

What was the maximum speed of CDMA expected when 1xRTT was being rolled out?
And this is the first rollout of the technology. HSPA+ is endgame for WCDMA, and wimax, because of the frequency it's at, won't be able to spread past high population centers without insane diminishing returns.
The faster the speeds get the more expensive the rollout. Partnering with someone for LTE would be cheaper and offer faster speeds (by the time they start hspa++ rollout, LTE will be in second or third gen too)
Pushing for HSPA development is like trying to make a faster carriage when everyone else has a car.
Sprint's "Nextel" network is niche. Sprint's WiMax network is niche.
seriously, why will t-mo go with a technology that is different from their technology? clearwire / wimax is the one who needs fund so they're the one who needs to adjust. it's their fault that they chose wimax than lte...
why do people still keeps on complaining that t-mo still doesn't have that many customers compared to others? at least their network isn't collapsing due to congestion like att, verizon's oh so ever conscious running out of resource (will it become extinct in the first place?) making everything with cap, and sprint's continuously losing customers...
if t-mo europe is only as aggressive as vodafone, i bet it's possible for them to fight with verizon in the 1st and 2nd spot...
