This article I chose is about cell phone carriers. These carriers are Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, Comcast, and Clearwire. These services are known as 4G. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G stated, “4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to 3G and 2G standards. The nomenclature of the generations generally refers to a change in the fundamental nature of the service.” These companies are promising faster speeds for their cell phones. They are going to be fast enough to replace wireless Internet. 4G will be releasing these new speeds in the next two years. The two most dominant services behind 4G are, Sprint and Clearwire, and Verizon and AT&T. Sprint and Clearwire are going to we using WiMax, which will have towers that will provide broadband access up to 30 miles. Verizon and AT&T will be using Long Term Evolution. This will have download speeds of 50 Mbps.
I believe this 4G will be a huge technology advancement for Sprint, At&T, Verizon, and Clearwire. I personally have sprint and I know that the service sometimes isn’t that great. I have often thought about changing my plan, but after hearing these new advancements they’re creating I might continue to stay. I will be greatly affected by this and I know others will too. Cell phones have already come such a long way and it is unbelievable that we have more technology coming our way. This advancement in technology will allow people to browse the web more easily, not loose service, and send texts a lot quicker. I am definitely a technology nerd and I cannot wait for this new 4G. It will be very interesting to see what cell phone service will have the better advancement. Soon one day we will not have computers anymore and we will have it all on our cell phones.
