Sprint Says First 4G Handset Will Launch By Summer
launching a new generation requires compatibility which we currently dont have for 4G.
even in US where sprint has launched 4G wireless internet services last year ($60 per month for 3-6 mbps download speed) claims that the first 4G mobile phone is scheduled to be launched this summer. so there has been only partial 4G implementation so far in US.
IMO, it doesnt make any sense to skip 3G entirely & go to 4G. i think most of the people today are sitting with a 3G compatible handset whereas no one so far has a 4G handset. even if the first handset is launched this summer, how many people will even buy a 4G compatible handset by next year (consider the fact that there will be very choices which may be very expensive too - just like 3G handsets when they were newly launched in 2003-04). only implementing wireless broadband by 4G would not make complete use of the technology.
so "skipping 3G" or "jumping directly to 4G" sounds pretty stupid to me
