And no, we are not talking about Apple's 4G iThing, but about something much important; The networks business of Motorola has successfully completed the Phase I TD-LTE field trials with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Moto said in a statement that the over-the-air (OTA) TD-LTE trial included key functionality, performance and mobility tests in a multi-sector, multi-site environment which lays a solid foundation for large scale TD-LTE deployment.
Motorola's key trial achievements during the pilot included downlink speeds of up to 80Mbps and the successful demonstration of key TD-LTE features including mobility and handover with live applications, low latency and more utilisation of third-party user equipment test to guarantee standard compliance. It also included TD-LTE trial sites overlaid on existing 2G/3G sites. Motorola says it is now ready to begin Phase II TD-LTE field trials with increased focus on applications and quality of service, in Shunyi, Beijing.
If you have a 3G plan right now
They'll probably give you the choice to switch to a new 4G, but remember this is a new technology which is still in Alpha (sort of) stage, so we'll have to wait for some time to see the technology being applied world wide; new phones will have to be created to support this tech also, so your current phone won't work under it.
Motorola is one of the leaders on this technology, so it's a fact that they'll present one of the first 4G phones
Now if TMob, Verizon or AT&T...who knows
