4G LTE Gated by 3G Success, not WiMAX

Source: In-Stat
Long term evolution (LTE), the next-generation mobile broadband standard, is the clear choice for the next leap in wireless technology, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). While WiMax appeared to be a competitor for 4G early on, that battle is now largely resolved. LTE’s deployment will primarily be impeded by the success of 3G networks and HSPA and HSPA+ networks as mobile operators seek to leverage their installed infrastructure.
