Looks like WiMAX is losing some of its luster?
Also,

says that AT&T is referring to its new HSPA+ expanded network
(wideband CDMA) as "4G."
All good for a chuckle. Reality and truth do have a way of trumping
mindless hype.

There seems to be some consensus on moving to TD-LTE although some
operators are moving faster than others, with incremental upgrades to
existing networks to fill the gap. The mess in the U.S, is
exacerbated by the two-year contracts that tend to dictate the pace
of real changes in hardware,
Looks like the vendors that supply the products that the telcos
deploy have more flexibility than the handset/smartphone vendors.
Small quantities of programmable logic devices for the networks
versus millions of dedicated chips in consumer devices.
Rhere are always losers and winners...
