4G, it's short for the fourth generation of standards for mobile phone communication technology. And, it provides ultra-broadband Internet access.
In 2008, peak speed requirements for 4G service was set at 100 megabits per second. The speed of the 4G network can be as fast as 10 times the speed of 3G. A movie of high definition usually takes one hour to download if powered by 3G, while on 4G, the same movie will download in just a few minutes. Analysts say, the introduction of the 3G network provided a platform for smooth operation of Sina Weibo, and WeChat on mobile phones. They say 4G will encourage innovation and creativity in media services which will make people's life easier and hopefully, more fun.
