Thread: 4 G launched in USA. we are still calling 1 Mbps as 3G!!!

Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group plc will debut its first 4G handset “ThunderBolt” on March 17. The smartphone will be available at all Verizon stores and is priced at $249.99 with a two-year contract.

Verizon will sell its first 4G handset in collaboration with HTC Corp. and will run on Google Inc Android software program. By virtue of being the first and only 4G handset, ThunderBolt will take full advantage of Verizon's latest Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network, which offers download speeds of 5 to 12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps.

The company started deploying its high-speed LTE network in December with average download speed more than five-times faster than the company’s 3G network. It covered approximately 39 markets with around 110 million people at year-end 2010. Verizon plans to expand its 4G LTE network in 140 additional markets by the end of 2011and cover virtually its entire nationwide 3G footprint by the end of 2013.

To support these services, Verizon expects to unveil ten 4G devices––four smartphones, two tablets, two notebooks and two additional 4G devices by mid 2011. In addition, as part of its 4G LTE network deployment plans, Verizon announced collaborative efforts with rural companies to build and operate 4G networks in those areas, using Verizon Wireless' 700MHz spectrum
NEW YORK (AP) -- AT&T Inc. said Sunday it will buy T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $39 billion that would make it the largest cellphone company in the U.S.

The deal would reduce the number of wireless carriers with national coverage from four to three, and is sure to face close regulatory scrutiny. It also removes a potential partner for Sprint Nextel Corp., the struggling No. 3 carrier, which had been in talks to combine with T-Mobile USA, according to Wall Street Journal reports.

AT&T is now the country's second-largest wireless carrier and T-Mobile USA is the fourth largest. The acquisition would give AT&T 129 million subscribers, vaulting it past Verizon Wireless' 102 million. The combined company would serve about 43 percent of U.S. cellphones.

Mukesh Ambani is planning to launch a telecom company in Decemeber which will offer 4G. It is supposed to give 50 -100 Mbps. But don't expect it to come for Rs. 1,000 unlimited

This may help

Let me google that for you

Excuse me for jumping the gun, but if this thing comes out to be true and Reliance launches 4G in 3G spectrum then we are doomed. 1.9 and 2.1 GHz are not the ideal frequency for 4G, if you know what I am talking about.

P.S.: You didn't needed to use lmgtfy. It is too old school for me.

My source is limited to the article I found on net. I don't think I will get 50 Mbps on PC by Decemeber. It is too good to be true.

What exactly will people do with 50 Mbps ??

This

http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-3...-bill-wtf.html (I got F**king Rs2,83,000 bill.... WTF????)

Then we will have a bill of one crore

And one guy will come up to this forum and scream

I got F**king Rs 10000000 bill.... WTF????

Though there was humour in it, I think such bills are not impossible. Reliance is not known for its excellent customer relation policy. Unlike BSNL, they will make you pay that amount irrespective of what you say.

If that bill is possible only Mukesh Ambani will use it though.

Also add tata to that

Yes, and add Tata to that...

Some internal sources have this that A Raja is planning to launch a 5G telecom co. , he says it will be more beneficial for the people.. He already bagged some investment from some Ex-UPA politicians.. Nira Wadia is going to be the CEO .. and they will provide UL access to all those who pledge in the cos. website that they wont discuss about the 2G scam and will also dont let the co. down..


i just forgot what i wrote just now..

TBH I knew about the 4G trials in India which Ericsson performed just like in other countries. Mukesh Ambani attended the event and showed his fascination but I never thought he would go so far as to launch it while India was still on evolving stage of 3G. If it comes out to be true then the plan charges would be around 8000 per month with at least 80 GB usage.

Cut the crap...

BSNL 750 plan is better than all this hocus focus...


I have got a UL 1350 as my second connection, Thinking of changing it to 750...

Lol.. ab darr lag raha hai...

and thanks for the repo...

And default 4G internet charges in reliance will be 100rs for 1mb ......

Hey Admin is here.Hope he sheds some light on this issue..

No he didnt.
So people keep yourself entertained..

Aircel,Docomo,Reliance etc have priced avg speed 7.2 mbps 3G(say average 3.4 to 5 mbps possible during off time) mobile broad brand at around Rs 750-1000 for 2 GB.(slightly higher than 3.6 mbps)
Only Do co mo (not yet launched in any big cities ) offering 10 gb download@ 7.2 mbps @ Rs 1500 ( roughly BSNL tariff)
Airtel due to the the difference in frequencies in their existing all india 2 G network and the new 3g frequency -yet not stable.
So the way all the operators are colluding to limit speed ,It looks like we have to be happy atleast to get 1 Mbps at all times in 3G.
(Tata photon & Reliance Net connect (CDMA) less than 1 mbps most of the time with latter having more coverage and their prices are Rs 1000/10gb!)

In addition to Reliance Infotel, Qualcom is also holding BWA licence in 4 metros.
They have gone on record that they would be deploying LTE technology based system on these licences to demonstrate the capabilities of LTE to Indian consumers.

Qualcom has sold out spectrum in USA (which they had) and in India also exiting this space. First I read in stock market commentaries a month ago .
Just re checked-
Qualcomm is in an advanced stage of talks with Bharti Airtel [ Get Quote ] to sell its broadband wireless access licences in India [ Images ].

BWA spectrum enables high-speed 4G services, called long-term evolution, with speeds of 5-15 mbps, many times faster than 3G networks.

Qualcomm India, which took part in the BWA auction last year, got licences for four markets, including the lucrative Delhi [ Images ] and Mumbai [ Images ], apart from Kerala [ Images ] and Haryana.

The company paid a total of Rs. 4,912 crore (Rs. 49.12 billion). It might seek a premium over this from Bharti, said sources in know of the development.

The deal, if it goes through, will give Bharti BWA spectrum in eight circles. At present, it has BWA licences for Maharashtra [ Images ], Karnataka [ Images ], Kolkata [ Images ] and Punjab [ Images ]. It plans to start 4G services by the end of this year, a few months after the launch of 3G services.

The deal will also help Bharti compete with Mukesh Ambani's [ Images ] Reliance Industries Ltd [ Get Quote ], which has bought a pan-India BWA licence from HFCL. Reliance and Bharti are both expected to launch 4G services around the same time.

However, analysts say Bharti will have the advantage of offering customers seamless services across its 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Reliance is present only in the 4G space.

Qualcomm holds these four licences through its Indian arm, in which it holds a 74 per cent stake.
