FYI, LTE is not 4G.
4G is not available yet. Marketers are allowed to use the 4G moniker with LTE because next generation LTE will be true 4G. |
ITU:
IMT-Advanced is considered as �4G�, although it is recognized that this term, while undefined, may also be applied to the forerunners of these technologies, LTE and WiMax, and to other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed.

As of December 2011, there are no 4G networks that fulfil the International Telecommunication Union's criteria of being able to achieve 1Gbit/s while stationary.
But there are three technologies that get the 4G label in the carriers' marketing, and for the next three to five years at least, they'll be what 4G means in a practical sense. They are LTE, WiMax, and HSPA+ with backbone assist. After the ITU said none of these networks qualified as 4G last year, its carrier members quickly twisted arms and got the ITU to claim that "precursor" technologies leading to these standards could use the 4G label. That means LTE and WiMax.
