Latency killing WiMAX

WiMAX in US have great DL/UL speeds reaching 4-8 MB/s but what kills it is unacceptable latency around 100ms. There are numerous test drives from many places on YouTube

Can you play WoW or any other game with such delays which make it in fact to act like a 1000ms/100ms=10 frames per second game??? You can, but you will always lose. If you plan to completely switch land lines to the wireless your kids will be furious.

LTE promises 20ms (means 50 fps) like we have with Comcast cable, but this are only promises, what will be in reality has yet to be seen.

It is absolutely clear to me that the GAMES GAMES GAMES will be able to kill the road to domination for any bad latency network.
