"the fourth generation cannot be an incremental evolution of current 3G technologies, but rather the total replacement of the current 3G networks and handsets."

Why can't the North American invent something first. They are always trying to play catch-up with the Euopean's and the Japanese, now the Chinese.

Come-on USA innovate... don't just be followers !!]]>Sep 4th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/us-surpasses-european-3g-subscribers-by-0-1/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/us-surpasses-european-3g-subscribers-by-0-1/

it seems I am going to have to kick your ass and give you a history lesson....

http://www.electricityforum.com/who-invented-electricity.html

Quote from text:
From the writings of Thales of Miletus it appears that Westerners knew as long ago as 600 B.C. that amber becomes charged by rubbing. There was little real progress until the English scientist William Gilbert in 1600 described the electrification of many substances and coined the term electricity from the Greek word for amber. As a result, Gilbert is called the father of modern electricity.

Are you referring to Franklin ? Franklin gets a footnote in history for ripping off Kinnersley (an Englishman) for merely recognizing positive and negative.

This is history though, you go ahead and re-write it as much as you like.

How about the Airlane, Internet, Computer, Helicopter, Lightbulb, CONSUMER Electric production, Telephone, CELL PHONE, Nuclear Energy to name a few.

Golly gosh chap, are you an idiot or what ? I just laid out for you in black and white the fact that electricity was not invented by an American (Franklin BTW was the son of an Englishman, who spent a lot of time in Europe - he was a freemason = extremely dodgy)).

An american invented the Airplane ?

How about putting a man on the moon ? Germans, Hitler's scientists, paid for by the american tax payer.

So there are many rural areas without 3G coverage yet...and half of the US lives in rural areas and small towns like mine.

Wow...the US sucks at everything...I live in Canada, which is as large and spread out as you can get, and we have amazing EVDO coverage.
