4G coming soon as possible in India next year 2012.

4G, Mobile technology that will allow users to watch high-definition video and download content on mobile devices at a much faster pace. 4G is the Fourth Generation of cellular Wireless standards. It is a successor to the 3G and 2G families of standards. In 2008, the ITU-R organization specified the IMT-Advanced
(International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced) requirements for 4G standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users). 4G system is expected to provide a comprehensive and secure all-IP based mobile broadband solution to laptop computer wireless modems, smartphones, and other mobile devices.Facilities such as ultra-broadband Internet access, IP telephony, gaming services, and streamed multimedia may be provided to users. >>

The 4G technology, while in its infancy, holds the promise of Internet speeds at least five times faster than typical third-generation networks now common in Europe and the U.S. The regulator's comments come at a time when India's telecom operators are yet to start full-fledged 3G mobile services across the country after receiving spectrum in a hotly contested auction last year.

J.S. Sarma, chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference. "At TRAI, we are readying ourselves for it," he said. The regulator is likely to come up with a consultation paper on 4G in a month's time, Mr. Sarma said, adding that he expects operators to start offering 4G services next year, a news said.
