DoCoMo does 2.5 Gbps at 12.5 mph in 4G test
Speed freaks rejoice! NTT DoCoMo has set a new
record in its latest test of 4G mobile throughput. Using no fewer than six MIMO antennas, the company was able to
successfully transmit data at 2.5 Gbps while traveling at 12.5 miles per hour. In a similar test last May, DoCoMo was
able to achieve just 1 Gbps. Of course, it'll be a while before you can try this at home, since 4G standards have yet
to be finalized. But, hey, at least we've got HSDPA.

danik, as optimistic as you may be, DoCoMo plans to have a public 4G network running by 2010, so you've got a lil while to wait ;).

Seriously, if you know how to get HSDPA, let me know, cuz. the best I can find is EDGE, and it blows goats.

we should say good bye to the 4G name, the big operators are forcing the providers to change the name and never mention something about a new generation (that's why we now have Super 3G and 3G LTE) because they don't want to be charged again with more licenses auction from the governments.

Davdalaus, that's strange - NTT DoCoMo's website in both Japanese and English have entire sections about information and press releases titled with "4G" all over them.
You cant argue with the big guns, the worlds largest mobile telecommunications giant.
With more 50 million customers, and the first to launch 3G - who ya gonna call?

You still have Vodafone Group outside Japan, with 165 million subscribers, mainly in Europe where they paid a high price for licenses.
