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."

WOW, JOHN, HOW FAST WILL THIS WONDER OF TECHNOLOGY USE UP THE GODDAMNED
5GB/MONTH VERIZON WIRELESS USERS ARE ALLOWED TO USE?!!!!!
What bullshit....Bandwidth means NOTHING if you're NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT!
Just imagine what this wonderful bandwidth can eat per minute at 25 cents
per MEGAbyte!

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
If your pinkie and ring fingers tingle or feel numb, you might not
want to pick up that cell phone to call the doctor.
Orthopedic specialists are reporting cases of "cell phone elbow," in
which patients damage an essential nerve in their arm by bending
their elbows too tightly for too long.
When cell phone users hold the phone to their ears, they stretch a
nerve that extends underneath the funny bone and controls the
smallest fingers. When talkers chat for a long time in that position,
it "chokes the blood supply to the nerves. It makes the nerves
short-circuit. The next thing you know, there's tingling in the ring
and small finger," said Dr. Peter J. Evans, the director of the Hand
and Upper Extremity Center at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland,
Ohio.
When that happens, the advice is simple: Switch hands -- before it
gets worse.
People who have this condition, called cubital tunnel syndrome, can
feel weakness in their hands and have difficulty opening jars or
playing musical instruments.
"It could impede your typing ability, your writing ability," Evans
said. "People get very unintelligible writing if it gets severe."
