Scott T. Ford, Alltel CEO, says the company, which currently runs a wireless network based on CDMA, will migrate to Long Term Evolution when it builds a fourth-generation network. Not that it is in any rush to do so. But

LTE seems to be shaping up as the first global wireless standard, a development that should help considerably in terms of scale, and what that means for the cost of devices.
WiMAX is growing as well, but does not currently seem to be poised for the scale that LTE is poised to garner.
