The big mobile carriers love LTE because it paves the way for continued extension of their existing business model. They fear WiMAX because it brings with it a paradigmatic shift in the way people will access wireless data.

From where I stand, the big mobile carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, et al.) increasingly look like the AOLs and CompuServes of the 90's. Like their dot.com-era counterparts, the mobile carriers will die a painful death as soon as their customers get a whiff of what they really want -- open internet access. Ringtone downloads, SMS messages, My-5's and all the other "value-added" bullshits will lose all their appeal as soon as smartphones and netbooks become network peers on the open internet.
