Isn't 4G simply referring to speed and WiMAX is the technology that delivers it ??

WiMAX is to LDE what GSM is to CDMA???


Right????
WiMAX is WiMAX as WiFi is WiFi. Nothing more. WiMAX is WiFi technology with huge coverage and little faster speed.

LTE is a complete cellular technology and is the only 4G protocol out there. (LTE/4G is not ready yet for commercial use and its certificate still penting but it is already available in Sweden)

WiMAX is the first ever WiFi technology that gets "G" certificate and it is officially certificated as 3G technology.

Second the current 3G networks for example T-Mobiles USA 20+Mbps network is by far faster of Sprint's WiMAx network.

In the rest of the world like India were they use WiMAX they call WiMAX as WiMAX as they call WiFi, Wifi.

So in summary WiMAX is officially certificated as 3G and the curent 3G technologies are faster from it. 4G and WiMAX only exist in the imagination and the false advertising propaganda of Sprint
