International Telecommunications Union Loosens 4G Definition
"So you thought you knew what 4G was, or at least knew that you didn't know, but now it's time to flip the switch once again."
"Over the weekend the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) loosened its definition of 4G to include LTE, WiMax, and HSPA+."
""As the most advanced technologies currently defined for global wireless mobile broadband communications, 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," the ITU said a statement."
