    mistakes like selling the evolutionary upgrade of the previous generation as the revolutionary next generation? That kind of mistake?

    Never forget that the original 4G spec promised gigabit.

      4G is gigabit the problem is the users don’t exist in a void where they have their own cell tower and also don’t all have expensive devices and also radio interference exists cause of the sun, etc. Same with WiFi.

        HSPA+ is not 4G. It has a max theoretical throughput of 168Mbit. It was sold as 4G. Same with Wimax and earlier LTE implementations.
