		Overview 4G is envisioned to support a fully IP-based technology platform that is capable of providing 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps speeds both indoors and outdoors, with premium quality and high security. 4G will offer all types of services at an affordable cost. 4G is also being developed to accommodate the quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications like wireless broadband access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), video chat, mobile TV, High definition TV content, Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), minimal service like voice and data, and other streaming services for "anytime-anywhere".
		Key Issues There is a raging battle between WiMAX and LTE vendors over their future in the deploying of 4G technologies. Who will win this fight? How will vendors decide what to sell and to whom? This report's goal is to provide a sufficient basis of understanding of the issues to facilitate a vendor's and a carrier's decision making process on wireless broadband.
