LTE and Wimax are different, different frequencies and all that and not that I really care what's in a name, but both are considered by some/many as "4G"... 4G standing for more advanced and more bits being transfered than 3G...

I copy/paste from a post of me a week ago:

This is a good text on 4G (in Europe) and about the different technologies that
are named 4G:

\
for_operators_in_europe/

(register and then download the pdf is very easy and it is worthwhile)
