Wi-Fi, WiMAX and LTE: the next generation of mobile broadband

User speed is moving to Mbps on a shared broadband network. Users should be able to burst to 2Mbps. The key is what the end user can do with the network -- the Internet experience for the user. For example, 3G on the iPhone can get a few hundred kbps! Mo - Exactly! Which is why I'm trying to get a "real world" feel for the per-user bandwidth, rather than the total/aggregate that a carrier can cover a region with. This has always been an elusive question. For Wi-Fi, 300 Mbps up/down is typical in real applications using 802.11n draft 2.0 certified products at 20 MHz. Edgar - just to clarify: the 300Mbps is a data connect rate, not actual throughput, right? We consistently see real throughput of
