COMMENTARY | In datum the article "How AT&T Totally Flubbed 4G," detailing how AT&T is misrepresentaation to customers, I concord with the communicator but was a taste put off. You see, I wrote the aforementioned article, titled "LTE, HSDPA & WiMAX 3G Sold as 4G: Companies Deceiving Customers," a year ago. It careful how every carriers lied to consumers, not meet AT&T.

Official 4G finding and "first ever" 4G network

The "first 4G network," released in Sweden by TeliaSonera in Dec 2009, makes no sense. It came a flooded year before The ITU-R recommendations in Dec 2010 that defined 4G. LTE-Advanced is designated the IMT-Advanced 4G network, and IEEE wireless accepted 802.16e is the officialWirelessMAN-Advanced standard.

The poorest conception is that TeliaSonera's "4G" meshwork uses example LTE, which is an evolutionary form of the GSM 3G network. Other wireless carriers soon followed with the aforementioned dishonorable "True 4G-network" statements, but using the aforementioned bushed 3G networks.

Which carriers substance IMT-Advanced WirelessMAN-Advanced?

I don't undergo about anyone else, but I always feature the dustlike print, and as far as I can see, of the wireless carriers business 4G, hour of them ingest IMT-Advanced or WirelessMAN-Advanced technologies. Other "True 4G network" imitation releases included:

T-Mobile's 4G smartphones and "4G networks" ingest HSPA+ technology, not LTE-Advanced. HSPA+ is a 3G evolution. AT&T, the subject of the PC Magazine article, also uses HSPA +. MetroPCS released its first 4G meshwork in Sept of 2010, using the older edition of LTE too. Even Verizon's LTE 4G meshwork only expects 5 to 12 Mb/s downbound and 2 to 5 Mb/s up, not the 100 MB/s downbound that LTE-Advanced promises.

What's the disagreement between the two?

The carriers mentioned here started misrepresentaation to consumers in 2008, bringing 3G speeds while business 4G networks. My article was cursive when the ITU-R 4G meshwork standards promised 100 MB/s, speeds that hour of the carriers could offer, and people were ease blinded by the "10 times faster than 3G speeds" hype. Unfortunately, it wasn't until AT&T didn't "deliver 4G even by AT&T's own wishy-washy standards" that someone detected that speeds are not as alacritous as the carriers verify them to be.

Now that the cat's out of the bag, what module it take to intend the wireless carriers to admit they are lying, and when module they substance true 4G 100 MB/s speeds?
