Looking to tomorrow. We probably won't even really get 3G before 4G phones start popping into stores.

In Japan, they use their cell phones (keitai) for everything that we would typically do on a computer: WWW access, e-mail, video conferencing, pictures, etc. In the U.S., we use cell phones for phone calls, period. The main difference has to do with how our respecive societies move around.
For example, in Japan, most people use mass transit to get around and can dedicate their attention to their phones. In the U.S., however, most people drive cars and can't (or, more properly, shouldn't) dedicate that same level of attention to their phones.

Well, I'll be... Some people have all the luck in the world, getting 100+Mbps over cellular is really a huge leap forward... Go Japan! 
Of course, the US will not get such nifty improvements until all wireless operators decide on a single cellular standard (such as GSM in Europe) and develop it in a consistent way. That's what Japan has achieved: one cellular standard plus sustained research gives you LAN speeds over wireless. I hope this serves as a hint for Cingular, AT&T Wireless, Sprint PCS and Verizon Wireless to invest in wireless infrastructure. Otherwise soon we can forget all that and use NTT DoCoMo in the US, coz they will take over the operations of some of the wireless operators. |
