The way sprint is positioning wimax its not even going to be used for cell phones initially. Its going to be used like cable and dsl. They will have it first so they will get the foothold. Imagine having your phone, net, and cable for your whole house thru one xohm modem. Sprint had to go with wimax so they could have a 2-3 year head start on any other 4g network; to become the STANDARD in 4g wireless data for other applications. If the fact that LTE is more globally accepted, is too much for Wimax to gain foothold in 4g data for phones; sprint can build LTE if it wants or set data roaming agreements. This move is much bigger than phones trust me.. oh yea and sprint was the only major us carrier that still owned a majority of their towers. So dont say sprint selling their towers is bad. If you go to a company that owns their towers you will prolly find yourself on metro pcs thats if they havent did the industry norm too...

There still is no LTE in the U.S. and the won't be for 2 years at the earliest. 24 months is a lot longer than 7

It might not be available for the cellular side yet, but Wimax is already in place in San Francisco in lieu of T1/T2 lines.
