So! Sprint just made it official that they will be rolling out 4G LTE, and basically slowly backing away from their current 4G network, WiMax. What does that mean for you?
Sprint owns a majority of Clearwire, the company it partners with to deliver 4G WiMax. Clearwire is a troubled little company: It poops money like a baby with bloody diarrhea, and it needs to spend $600 millionish to upgrade its network to LTE
Clearwire, the biggest cheerleaders for WiMax mobile broadband, revealed their intent to support the competing LTE standard as well. Did the 4G wars just end? [Engadget]

November 1st for New York, December 1st for Los Angeles and San Francisco in "late December."
