What Clear Says For Itself
While I trust the opinions of my esteemed colleagues, the influence that shoved me down this curious path was a simple advertisement on a Clear Communications kiosk in a shopping mall that included the term '4G.' So it only made sense for me to ask Clearwire, owner of Clear and provider of Sprint's advertised 4G offerings, what it meant by 4G. What I saw at the kiosk - voice, video, and data - had me fearing it was just wireless triple-play. Nothing new or unique that. Pinocchio set free, at best.

My assumption, I am glad to say, was wrong. 'The promise of 4G,' says Susan Johnston, a spokesperson for Clearwire, 'is keeping us connected to the people, applications and information that matter most in our daily lives. True mobile broadband will change the way we use and experience the Internet much like mobile phones did for voice communications making connectivity about the person and not about a place like home or the office. In our view, it will revolutionize communications in the years ahead."

iPhones Showing the Path to...5G?
If you're a Blackberry user, you know that your mobile Internet experience leaves something to be desired. The 'Berry' is a good phone, and a great email device, but it can't hold a candle to an iPhone in the Internet department. That's why it should come as no surprise that Consumer Reports recently published statistics from Validas that show on average, consumer iPhones use 5 times as many megabytes per month as do consumer Blackberrys.
