In the first part of our Beyond LTE series, we told you about how it all began - with the birth of the mobile radio telephone and the very first mobile network systems like MTS in the US and the Russian Altay...

Very interesting story. Can't wait for the true 4G

Forget True 4G, in India, we don't even get proper 3G connections everywhere, so, 2G still rules here.

I would love to see what is true 4G service....is it the highly touted 100 mbps that no carrier even got close to acheiving?

Pretty much. LTE-Advanced will provide theoretical speeds of 100Mbps down. ATT stated in December of 2012 they're launching LTE-Advanced this year...Sprint /Clearwire and VZW will laucn LTE-Advanced over the next year or so.

In the US, AT&T's LTE hits speeds of over 45mbps in Chicago on average. Although its severely overkill, that's quite impressive.

Only about 30 percent of the population gets those speeds everyone else is still stuck on 2g or 3g

These data limits are gonna be a problem...if you can pull 50+ mbs down and you only have a 2GB MONTHLY limit (before throttling as AT&T will do even on "unlimited plans") i wonder what will happen

Im always over 2 GB on 3G even with WiF, gotta love having unlimited with Sprinti. But the data limits are very disproportionate compared to the speeds especially with streaming, large games/apps.

I am going to dump VZW when my contract expires. I have had numerous complaints before I switched to VZW. When will T-Moble get 4G-LTE and will it be an increase in speed over what I have now?"

probably never buddy...T-Mobile can play all of the 4G commercials they want but their name is synonymous w/terrible reception. their first move should be to improve basic calling let alone expanding to LTE. paying pennies for the best is a fairytale...don't know anything in any market that works like that.
