While the U.S. futzes with 3G, Europe gets a 4G demo

On this side of the pond, we’re constantly discussing the painfully long transition from 1xRTT to EDGE to EV-DO/HSDPA. I don’t know about you but to me it feels like this whole process is taking longer than some prime-time network comedy runs. While we’re watching for new 3G cellular towers to be lit or upgraded, Samsung is treating 3GSM attendees to 4G WiMAX WAVE 2 demo according to Akihabara News. Let me give you a few thoughts or specs and then I’ll sit back and wait for the comments:

  • 40 Mbps downloads
  • 12 Mbps uploads
  • 700 MB video download in 2 minutes and 45 seconds
  • 3 MB MP3 download in 0.7 seconds
