Long Term Evolution
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the future of mobile telecomunications that will replace 3rd Generation (3G) networks. Also know as 4th Generation (4G) it was competing with the Intel backed WiMAX standard which has stagnated and lost ground over the last couple of years.
Although WiMAX can manage 6Mb/sec the LTE rollout reported at The Register by TeliaSonera in Oslo, Norway is promising 20 – 80Mb/sec. It’s not likely to reach the UK until the next round of spectrum auctions which in turn won’t be until after the next election at the earliest.
