5X 4G in 5 years

The battle between LTE and WiMAX is tilting heavily in LTE's favor,
with spending on that 4G mobile-broadband technology projected to be
nearly five times that of its Intel-championed competitor by 2014.

According to a recent report by the UK's mobile market-watcher,
Juniper Research, worldwide revenues from LTE subscribers will exceed
$70bn (£43.4bn) by 2014.

By contrast, Juniper lowered its forecast of WiMAX revenues to $15bn
(£9.3bn) in the same period, down from their 2008 prognosis of $20bn
(£12.4bn) by 2013.

North America, Western Europe, the Far East, and China will account
for 90 per cent of the LTE market by 2014, with the same areas
providing 70 per cent of the WiMAX market in the same time frame.

WiMAX will carve out $4bn (£2.5bn) in business in Africa, the Middle
East, South America, India, and Eastern Europe, according to the
report, which opines that "WiMAX has role to play in providing
broadband in developing countries where there is no wired network."

The author of both reports, Howard Wilcox, says that "We're on the
cusp of make or break time for WiMAX." Here at The Reg, we're putting
our money on "break" over "make."

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
