Samsung, the South Korean giant has done mankind a great injustice. Surfing 100 Mbps from a bus is a big achievement but imagine the consequences. Your boss will expect you to come up with a quotation while telecommuting home. You can't say your internet lines sucks anymore. 4G will have its upside and downside
for the humankind, so wait for the rollout around 2010.
According to the International Telecommunication Union, a technology can't be called "4G" unless it offers mobile speeds in excess of 100Mbps and fixed speeds of 1Gbps. Samsung this week demonstrated what they're calling the first true 4G solution, based on their roving Wi-Bro technology. The company demonstrated the tech on a bus travelling 37 miles per hour. According to Samsung, their technology offers speeds fifty times faster that existing Wimax technology, and is capable of multicell data handovers at speeds of 100 Mbps.
