. I am posting this , since i saw discussions related to CINGULAR/AT&T some few days back , which led me believe there are telecommunications enthusiasts around! I am with a story from CHINA. ChinaLaunches 4G before 3G off the ground A little background! 3G provides you bandwidth upto 2 Mbps ( 384 kbps WAN), 4G is to provide something from 20 Mbps or more. China , on its advent to 4G has claimed it might provide to 100 Mbps today with its "Future" project. In fact, 4G is in formative stage elsewhere and is expected to come to market on 2010. NOW, its fine. We are having good bandwidth with improved products. But my question is : there is equally a community the 802.11 family ! They provide efficient bandwidth, well enough for any thing i dream of now! 802.11b/g with pretty good speeds ( 11 Mbps / 45 Mbps ). Once the hyped 802.11n (600Mbps) finalizes and standardized, it would have even more focuses for mobile vendors to be implementing 802.11n mobiles. So, isnt the future on Wifi phones? Why would ppl work on 4G to speed up their network to few tens more Megabits per second, when you could work on providing higher speeds of hundreds. Is it the infrastructure that they find it hard to alter, but if they eventually must, why would that be a hindrance?. AND still , by 2010 , they could standardize on 802.11 mobile phones rather than improving on 3G/4G or more G ! :) I pretty much summed it up here what i had to say! Please contribute on your views and feel free to agree/disagree what i pointed out.
