>>28812648 Semantics. The ITU is fine with calling LTE 4G, and everyone is around the world, so that's what 4G is. I think 10x the bandwidth of 3G justifies calling it 4G, and LTE-Advanced is nowhere near being ready to go.

setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users) Just thought you might want some clarification.

>>28812884 >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#Technical_definition >>Since the first-release versions of Mobile WiMAX and LTE support much less than 1 Gbit/s peak bit rate, they are not fully IMT-Advanced compliant, but are often branded 4G by service providers. On December 6, 2010, ITU-R recognized that these two technologies, as well as other beyond-3G technologies that do not fulfill the IMT-Advanced requirements, could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced compliant versions and "a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed" TLDR; The ITU realised their initial spec from 2008 was fucking retarded, and relented to allow for more gradual improvements in the technology and the corresponding branding.
