One of the major reasons that people are hesitant to assume that WiMax is going to be the wave of the future is because there are a lot of competing technologies that can also bring high-speed Internet access to mobile phones. Advanced 3G networks are believed to offer Wi-Fi services that can compete with WiMax in terms of speed. 4G networks are currently in the works which will make mobile Wi-Fi even faster and pose an even bigger threat to WiMax. One major new technology competing with WiMax is LTE; major carriers in the U.S. are planning to deploy this technology in direct competition with WiMax.
