3G v. 4G

There is much speculation about the differences of 3G versus 4G when it comes to cell phone service. 4G is supposed to be 10 times faster than its counterpart 3G. In todays cell phone world most of the phones only have a 3G that is advanced even though it might be called 4G. 4G is means fourth generation. The cell phone industries are trying to push this 4G by using marketing to make people think it is faster. 4G will also lead to faster capability and an increase in the individual’s cell phone bill monthly. Most people want to stay with the 3G because they are able to access all their needs on that setup. 4G isn’t everywhere yet so it is hard to find coverage in certain spots in the U.S. This makes the debate hard for the consumer. They have to decide fast service and limited coverage or reliable everything. Over all 4G is the better pick I feel. The new technology will catch up to the standard that needs to be upheld in this society. I feel that the cell phone companies will figure out what needs to be done and still have 4 and 3G being used by the majority of the United States.

Tom,

I completely agree with you on 4G being the better over all pick. With the new technology coming out i think all devices will be made with both 4G and 3G in them. It will be just a matter of them making 4G nation wide. But then who knows what will strike big after 4G. Rumor has it that nation wide wifi is on the up for the next big thing.

I agree with Tom. Everything will eventually be 4G and soon leave 3G in the dust. Technology well catch up and 4G will be nationwide. 4G is much faster and that is what everyone is attracted to. Speed. Whenever you hear about something faster when it comes to technology it is always going to win.
