The ops comment I believe is coming from the artificial bandwidth crunch major carriers are complaining about. Much like the oil crisis in the 70's. There was no shortage of oil then, and there is no bandwidth crunch now. Companies need to keep updating and upgrading anyway, to stay competitive, not because there is a bandwidth crunch. They want everyone to believe that so they can charge large amounts of money for data plans. Let's face it, the casual data user doesn't use a fraction of the data they actually pay for, and even the heaviest of users, they still cut a profit from, no matter how thin. As for 4G it is already here in chicago, I remember when all this 3G craze and media hype began, LOL. 3G had been around for years already, and it was just a marketing scheme. Sprint had thier 3G network nationwide as early as 2002!!! Thats 7 years ago LOL! And everyone makes fun of Sprint, but they had led the way in mobile innovation in the states for the last two decades, and now with WiMax 4G, they are leading us into a new decade of mobile greatness. My hats off to them.
