4G no longer includes WiMax and LTE

The standards board ruled that a 4G network must perform at 100Mbps downstream speeds, but WiMax and LTE typically operate between 3 and 12 Mbps. 100Mbps is a pretty tall order, considering what a marked improvement our current '4G' technology is.
The board's ruling discourages the marketing of the 4G moniker, but it might be too late to turn back. A Clearwire representative said that "WiMax, and the LTE products that are coming out, are all sufficiently advanced past the 3G networks to indicate that they're moving forward." Clearwire has a point, as the current 4G experience is obviously an improvement. Maybe we can compromise and call it 3.5G?
T-Mobile might feel a little left out by this definition. They were already taking a marketing leap of faith by calling their HSPA+ a 4G network. Now, with WiMax and LTE both excluded, they might be even further off the mark.
