The future is coming and the future will bring WiMAX and LTE handsets. Sprint is making significant progress with it’s WiMAX network while other carriers are looking into their LTE future.

And it looks like Samsung, as a cell phone manufacturer, doesn’t want to pay any royalties for WiMAX and LTE so the maker will develop its own WiMAX and LTE. Samsung has previously declared it wants to launch handsets that will have WiMAX and/or LTE support. But with the current worldwide economical crisis, it’s no wonder that Samsung wants to develop its own chipsets. It might make a profit of it as other companies might be interested in these chipsets too.
