Is 3G Irrelevant?

Posted by timothy on from the almost-universally dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Network Magazine asks 'Are We Better Off Without 3G?' in which the author notes that many networkers are giving up on 3G as a data services alternative due to high deployment costs and slower speeds vs. Wi-Fi. Given these issues, are we likely to see carriers like Nextel bypassing 3G for 4G technologies such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) by Flarion Technologies?"

    Amen. Could this mean the stuffy eurotrash can't say they are better than the US anymore just because they can download pretty ringtones faster than we can?
