Blazing Fast Worldwide Internet on Near Horizon

The UN body responsible for setting standards for the international use of the radio spectrum has signed off on specs that promise to create a whole new Internet experience. The new standard, dubbed IMT_Advanced, is commonly discussed as "true 4G". It provides the bandwidth and protocols to support data transfer at 100 times the speed of today's fastest 3G systems.

Speculation is that it will take two more years for this new standard to reach deployment to the consumer. It's likely to happen much faster because one of the cell phone providers will jump on this with both feet and start implementing and deploying it, forcing its competitors to accelerate their plans as well.

Supporters say that this speed is so high that there will be literally no visible delay from the time of requesting a Web page and having it show up on the 4G-enabled device.
