Interesting thought. I suspect there will be a need and want for indoor WLAN for quite some time, especially with the speeds 802.11g and n now offer. There is no way I'd trade my "G" connection for LTE, especially since I needed to copy 38GB of data to my laptop earlier this week from an in house server. I would not be suprised to see the two co-exist for many years to come.

Yes, but Wi-Fi is free and unlicensed. No carrier to deal with, no walled gardens, etc. Wi-Fi is like tap water -- it's essentially free, but it might taste funny in some places. LTE & WiMax are like bottled water -- you pay someone to package and distribute it for you, but hopefully it's a consistent experience.
802.11 going no where anytime soon.
Although I am looking forward to the more mobile networks, i.e. WIMAX and LTE, I can't see wi-fi not being used. Even if these alternate technologies were to be more prevelant than stationary broadband soho's would still utilize 802.11. Why even your HSDPA and EVDO wireless routers utilize this.
