You compare the wrong standards. A comparison between HSPA and WiMAX is more relevant. The article states that WiMAX delivers up to 6 Mbps. HSPA in most cases delivers up to 7.2 Mbps and in some networks already up to 21 Mbps. LTE as you write supports up to 160 Mbps.
Not to sound like I drank the Wimax Kool-Aid, some but comments rub me the wrong way.
To compare real-world speeds (wimax) with a lab test (LTE) is silly.
With Wimax, I can get 6 Mbps right now, just by opening my laptop. Throughput could well exceed 6Mbps given optimal coding schemes and adequate backhaul. The technology is capable of 70Mbps given highest modulation and maximum bandwidth (10mhz opposed to LTE's 20mhz).
LTE has was tested under ideal conditions with maximum bandwith and adequate backhaul. As the article mentioned, "the average rate in real-life conditions, will likely be much lower."
If you compare Wimax to LTE, you'll find that Wmax has much more in common with LTE, than it does with HSPA.
