Miss an article?
ITU capitulates, admits that the term '4G' could apply to LTE, WiMAX, and 'evolved 3G technologies'
"Of course, none of these carriers had ever planned to bow to the ITU's recommendations anyway, so the ruling has little practical relevance -- just know that the true 4G speeds are still a few years off."
AT&T 3G has been measured over 2Mbps. When can we expect to see 100 times faster from LTE?
I already made reference to that article in the last thread. Doesn't that say exactly what I've already posted? The debate is over. The ITU isn't going to put up a fight, the carriers clearly weren't going to listen to the ITU anyway since there was no codified standard for these much faster than 3G, but not quite 4G networks. But these almost 4G speeds are getting quite fast, so it isn't all crying puppies and rainclouds.
Your numbers still don't make sense. The improvement from one generation to the next is measured by the previous baseline to the next baseline. 3G is 384kbps, 4G was supposed to be 100Mbps. Do the math, what sort of jump is that?
Oh and I forgot an
