Is Verizon Wireless nailing the coffin shut on WiMAX?

Kevin C. Tofel writes: "I'd love to see WiMAX succeed. It offers unique and affordable day-passes and monthly service charges without commitments. And frankly, the folks I've spoken with at Clearwire are darn nice people. They've got a solid vision to offer a valuable service but unfortunately, I think they're running out of time. If we don't see some major WiMAX deployment completed within the first six months of 2009, my fear is that LTE will build up steam and roll right over WiMAX."
