WiMAX is 4G
Today I want to post you some quotes of US carrier Sprint CTO about WiMAX and the current multibillionaire investments to migrate the cell-phone networks to mobile WiMAX.
“A lot of people are real enthusiastic about having an ‘Internet anywhere’ experience,”
“WiMax creates a 10-fold improvement in the price-per-bit,”
“That is made possible by the fact it uses a wider channel.”
“We talked to one consumer Electronics Company about putting WiMax in a TV set, and with another about putting it in printers. Once you do that, you can then deliver other services over that [WiMax] network.”
Sprint’s plan is to have 100,000 points of presence enabled with WiMax service by the end of 2008.
