“LTE (an initialism of Long Term Evolution), marketed as 4G LTE, (4G is Undefined says ITU – and is just a marketing hype – has nothing to do with technology or speed) is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements. The standard is developed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and is specified in its Release 8 document series, with minor enhancements described in Release 9.
The world’s first publicly available LTE service was launched by TeliaSonera in Oslo and Stockholm on 14 December 2009. LTE is the natural upgrade path for carriers with GSM/UMTS networks, but even CDMA holdouts such as Verizon Wireless, who launched the first large-scale LTE network in North America in 2010, and au by KDDI in Japan have announced they will migrate to LTE. LTE is, therefore, anticipated to become the first truly global mobile phone standard, although the use of different frequency bands in different countries will mean that only multi-band phones will be able to utilize LTE in all countries where it is supported.
Although marketed as a 4G wireless service, LTE as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series does not satisfy the technical requirements the 3GPP consortium has adopted for its new standard generation, and which were originally set forth by the ITU-R organization in its IMT-Advanced specification. However due to marketing pressures and the significant advancements that WIMAX, HSPA+ and LTE bring to the original 3G technologies, ITU later decided that LTE together with the aforementioned technologies can be called 4G technologies. The LTE Advanced standard formally satisfies the ITU-R requirements to be considered IMT-Advanced. and to differentiate LTE-Advanced and Wimax-Advanced from current 4G technologies, ITU has defined them as “True 4G”.”

Oh and BTW: I have zero debt. How about you?

I use both OS’s and like both for what they offer and never speak ill of either one of them. Simplicity and cookie cutter attributes go to OSX, more complex and cross pollination across a wider spectrum of applications goes to Windows.

Sure I love getting under the skin of Cult members but I try to stay relevant and Samsung parts being used in Miele, Bosh, BMW, GM, Ford, Acer, Dell (need I go on) appears to be the plain truth about Samsung’s infiltration in our daily lives.

Listen very closely little man, your worst nightmare would be to have to meet me face to face as I would make you my little bitch within seconds and all this without any weapon other than my hands. Watch who you fool with on here as you might regret pounding your keyboard keys so hard in an attempt to be Stallone.

You are the poster child as to why the authorities have issues with users who sit behind keyboards and pretend to be something other than what they are and in your case that is you pretending to be Rambo! Now then Go Right to Hell!

Pictures at 11 o’clock.

MAN, you are showing your ingorance. Fact is, Samsung CANNOT charge what ever to whom ever. Samsung “gave up” control of those patents under FRAND. They just want publicity to garner ignorant souls on their side. Seems like it is working!

Of course, if you REALLY want a debate, I’ll meet you in the Daniel Webster room at my high school, Phillips Exeter.

Bad in the eyes of the EU who launched a patent abuse investigation against Samecrap copycats.

Bad in the eyes of every intelligent person (read: Non-Fandroids)

The only Samsung product getting shoved anyone ass will be up tour gay ass and as usual you will love it! Little man!

On the other hand, there is no industry standard for touch screen interfaces. The fact that Samsung, Google, and others have copied Apple’s non-FRAND patented intellectual property does not make it an industry standard. Apple would have to agree to that, and they don’t.

Now, we have Apple suing Samsung for copying patented items they have not given permission for others to use. And in retaliation, Samsung threatening Apple for using patented items that Samsung has already given industry wide permission to use at a set fee, and at the same time complaining that they should be paid higher fees if Apple does use them. Now, who is being intellectually dishonest and unethical here?

Anytime anywhere and make sure you all bring your what do they call it… Mensa Cards? Idiots!
