Default Japan's DoCoMo starts 4G tests
http://www.allnetdevices.com/wireless/news/2002/03/20/docomo_starts.html

Even though they have just started using 3G (and it is a distant dream here in north America) DoCoMo has started testing 4G networks, which will allow for 100Mbps downloads.

"The 4G service is aimed at providing data access speeds of 100 Mbps for downloads and 20 Mbps for uploads, the company said in a statement. It said it has started constructing the infrastructure for system and would probably start what it called "practical evaluations of key technologies" this summer."

Don't look for anything soon though. They are targeting a 2010 release right now. Still interesting though. If there is enough bandwidth and frequency available, it would seem that wired networks will one day be reserved only for massive internet backbones.

100Mbs is great and all that. But how about first giving us a ubiquitous, reliable network with reasonable monthly fee and a modest 56kbs for our wireless PDAs. I'll be plenty satisfied with that.
