Re: Nice said by Big Dawg 23:Isn't that nice after many years of development and full time launches taking place terms change. T-Mo claim of of 4G and 4G speeds is a little out there because it is a 3G Wireless infrastructure. I think you missed the point.
WiMax and standard LTE are in the SAME category as HSPA+:
Transitional-4g. 3.9G. Whatever you want to call it. Faster than standard 3g, and slower than 100mbps.
Sprint, ATT, T-Mobile, and Verizon are all in the same boat. Not a single one of them offers or will offer 4g anytime in the next 2 years.

| WiMAX/LTE may not meet the technical definition but they are on the 4G roadmap while HSPA+ is not. WiMAX/LTE may not be superhigh speed to a single user but the infrastructure allows for handling many more users at once at a higher performance level than 3.xG. |

Hspa+ calls for a high speed all ip backend. Identical to LTE. The spectral efficiency is nearly identical. It's actually MORE efficient than wimax. Oh, and it's on the 4g roadmap for every single gsm operator. Even Verizon includes hspa+ in what it considers the "4g competition".

HSPA+ is on the roadmap to 4G actually, it's called LTE-Advanced which is the evolution of HSPA+ which is the evolution of GSM technologies
