4G. It just comes down to the spectrum the given carrier uses
that dictates speed and range. In the US, AT&T and Verizon
are deploying in the millimeter bands. They'll do a gig at a few
hundred feet. T-Mobile is using 600 MHz, so it'll probably only
do 100 megabit (based on the small channels they have), but
it'll go 10+ miles through nearly anything. Sprint is in the
middle. They'll be able to do hundreds of megs at miles of
range.

<p>The latency argument is what interests me. Supposedly 4G's
latency and jitter are tough on voip. If that improves there is
just no reason for TDM to phones which is a significant
development because cell phones are probably the largest
deployment of old style PSTN stuff these days as landlines wither
and die. I would think that carriers would embrace that since it
would be a cost-down, but I'm sure I'm wrong since that would be
admit defeat to IP.</p>
