Is there a winner in the LTE vs. WiMAX debate?: At last week’s WiMAX World conference in Chicago, some advocates were quick to claim a WiMAX victory in the 4G technology race. “WiMAX is here and it’s paving the way for 4G” was a refrain I heard several times in the sessions and on the exhibit hall floor. With the Sept. 29 commercial launch of Sprint-Nextel’s mobile WiMAX service (called Xohm) in Baltimore, the WiMAX buzz is at an all-time high. The entire industry is anxiously watching Xohm’s debut to see how it fares with consumers.
