Moving from 3G to 4G should simplify making applications available to mobile users because of the faster data rates. This will make the middleware used to adapt applications for the slower speed of wireless systems obsolete. The availability of a complete IP based service with the security of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to the mobile end-user will be a major benefit. The access to the network will be continuous.

The face off between 4G verses Wi-Fi verses WiMAX will be a globally adopted network of shared applications, resources and standards meeting a minimum delivery requirement of VoFi, broadband, and multimedia services to all 4G enabled end-users.

The best in performance will be the solution of choice. If WiMAX can gain a loyal customer base with revenue projections, the cellular companies will merger quickly with them.
