Is it possible? Could a company engineer a cable box to receive video over a box that has a cellular antenna w/ authorized access to the system via a SIM card. Similar to AT&T U-Verse only over 4G. Could the stream successfully run, over would buffering be an issue? Is there enough 4G Networks established in the United States to run video services over either type of 4G? Just an idea I had, thought I'd run it by you guys.
4G WiMax or LTE cable

Wouldn't work because of their datacaps unfortunately. 
But with that said in my tests LTE would work better then WIMAX.

If some cableco could get 4G without data caps, then what?
Then what? Then you should play the lottery, because you will probably hit that jackpot first.
So, you are saying that will never be possible in the future. Xfinity(Comcast) or Time Warner have the clout to do it imo.
Comcast and Time Warner do not own any wireless spectrum so they cant start their own 4G Network.
I know but they could buy it out from someone correct? Or "rent" the bandwidth from a company.

Well, I'm not going to give up on this idea until I hear a cableco executive say it will never happen. I just can't believe that Sprint or whoever can't sell off unlimited 4G data bandwidth to a cableco to make this happen.
Scott,
I think you are confused on what I was asking/proposing here. I don't want any cableco to do like Dish is doing and create a whole new wireless network, I just want them to buy-out the bandwidth from some provider/company. I think that would be possible. Would you think so? If it is always going to be no, I can accept that.
