4G is coming! (Whatever that means …)
Filed under Telecommunications by david brooks at 3:11 pm
I’ve got an overview piece in the Sunday Telegraph about how 4G is coming (read it here).
The Twitter-sized version is: Nobody really knows what 4G is because nobody agrees what 3G is, but Verizon, AT&T and Clearwire (Sprint) are spending tens of millions to bring it here anyway - in hopes that you’ll eventually get 4+-Mbps downloads over the air from them, instead of over wires from FairPoint/Comcast.
ADDENDUM: I’m disappointed: I thought the comments section of the article would be full of geekoid debate about Mpbs and time-division vs. code-vision multiple access … but all it has is people complaining about their cell-phone coverage. BORE-ing.
