This should provide better user experience than the higher frequencies used by WiMax today. But I still feel WiMax has it's place.

LTE still has room for them to get in on the ground floor. Probably smart to focus on one technology and LTE will have more acceptance in the mobile computing space (handhelds etc) by carriers than will Wimax so likely a bigger business opportunity.
