Can WiMAX Triumph Over Its Competitors?

LTE is a new 4G technology & will not be controlled by the old 3GGP. It will, just like WiMax, be offered as an option as a built in accessory to computers. While Sprextel/Clearwire do have a ton of 2.5GHz spectrum, one forgets that once LTE launches on the newly acquired 700MHz, the carriers will be moving everyone over to LTE, which frees up their 850MHz & 1.9GHZ spectrum to be used as well. This will more than compensate for the 2.5 that the "new" Clearwire will have. The 700 & 850MHz spectrum in my humble opinion is more valuable for its penetration value than 2.5GHz is as well.
