4G - What affect will it have on Mobile Phone Usage

What effect 4G will have on what we can do with our mobile phones?

Advantages:

• Higher bandwidth: Bandwidth is a term used to describe how much information can be transmitted over a connection. It is usually given as bits per second, or as some larger denomination of bits, such as Megabits per second, expressed as kbit/s or Mbit/s. Bandwidth is a gross measurement, taking the total amount of data transferred in a given period of time as a rate, without taking into consideration the quality of the signal itself.
• Better repsonstime. 10 times better then 3G
• Works at 2.6GHz frequency wich means better coverage.
• Less time to buid 4G because it use the same tower and fibercables as 3Gs - they only have to upgrade the towers with 4G components.

Disadvantages:

• Involves the possibility of some interference though not much.
• Capable of being attacked (jamming frequencies).
• Invasion of privacy increased.
• Obtaining information from everday people illegally becomes easier.

People have to weigh up between super fast download rates and risk of data being stolen.

4G in a nutshell: Its way faster.
