LTE tech has been the winner

          Both the download rate of the LTE technologies and WiMAX technologies can be achieved 100Mbps in the mobile state, but LTE has been the world’s most mainstream towards 4G technology in fact.
For Chinese users, China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA, China Unicom’s WCDMA, China Telecom’s CDMA EV-DO will evolve to LTE eventually.

4G countries still need issue licenses
          Talking about the large-scale commercial of 4G is clearly too early when 3G has just started. China will invest about 400 billion yuan for 3G network construction to drive on the trillion yuan of social needs in the next 3 years according to the Ministry of Industry and Information.
