LTE Is 4G but 3G Still Dominates And Is Growing
Either through me or others, you probably heard about how the Japanese are living in mobile heaven. Their whole lives revolved around their cell phones. Some folks have more than one in Japan. They watch TV on it. They surf the web on it. They pay for their transportation with their mobile phones. Well, you are saying we do that now, except for the paying for public transportation part. I thought the mobile providers like Docomo and Softbank are running on 5G or 6G networks by now. That turned out to be not the case. In fact, Japanese mobile providers are in the same boat US providers - looking to provide LTE in 2011 or 2012. Softbank subscribers will not be able to count on LTE access until 2013 at the earliest.
