And he *did* refer to it as "4G", so don't fault posters here with calling it 4G and quoting dates much earlier than you argued.

aye. i don't consider the Wi-Fi extensions as a 'generation' in cellular technology. if they want to role it out as such, then i suppose it's up to them to call it by same name. however, and once again, we're alienating cellular standards for the sake of VERY little gain in speeds (2-3mpbs range real-world). in terms of cellular 4G, we'll see it implemented in Japan first, then Korea (or at the same time), then the CDMA networks here.


In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
