Rogers 4G, Coming Soon, FIRST to Van-Freakin'-City
 

But no phones. HAHAHAHAHAHA

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...ails-revealed/

they're probably going to try to limit the phones for it so it's launch does go much smoother

lol wow...well at least we're getting 4G

yes
4g deployment is coming
and its frikkin OLYMPICS MOTHERFUCKER
rawr

it's about time they consider some kind of CHEAP unlimited 2g or 3g data plan!!

something like $5 unlimited gprs for "regular" internet (not wap) would be nice :D

daynm can't wait haha but dang equal more money when it comes time to buy 4G phones when theyre available

i'm personally not really expecting anything from 4g phone unless they introduce some kind of killer application along with it..

i mean, there isn't much use on the 3g network for me right now. i dont' do video calls, surfing on the net in a small screen isn't very nice, and for the rare times if i do need to use internet, gprs is enough for me needs. unless rogers introduce some kind of super cheap plans to induce people to use internet on their phone. I don't see how rogers can profit from introducing the 4g network

just my 2 cent

Telus and Bell have been testing their LTE networks in Van as well.... It'd be intersting to see who can get it out first AND actually have phones to go with the network.

good stuff, soon all carriers will be using the same technology and hopefully the competition will drop prices down for everyone.

yeah wtf
4g LTE in 2010 while Telus/Bell are prolly getting it by 2012...
theres no freakin need
gtfo rogers you suck
cocky ***
im glad your owner died

OK, well done. You've succeeded at being ignorant and offensive.












And many of you are not seeing what they're using 4G for. Not just cell phones, no. It's meant to replace your average INTERNET in most places. Cell phones just happen to be on there. :p

Wireless division of Rogers/Telus/Bell
its not cellphone..
its called

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

i was being maybe 20% serious.
just felt like being an ass for a few minutes

perhaps im just jealous at all the rogers ppl with 'cool' unlocked phones

thanks +Kardboard+ for clarifying how we average people can benefit from the 4G implementation. never knew they going to replace our everyday broadband connection.

hopefully by then price will drop more. i'm paying ~$45 to shaw just for my broadband!! and services isn't that great compare to the japan and korea..

Japan can get 100mbit connection now..

the telecommunications field is one of the fastest growing industries. The goal is the make everything on demand no matter where you are.

Europe is starting to adapt
Verizon is currently testing the network
China Telecom, KDDI, and Telus all plan to set LTE as the 4th generation standard in wireless telecommunications

LTE can do multiple frequency broadcast meaning it will replace the current DVB-H tech for on demand live TV in Japan and such

DO NOT be surprised when these technologies become standard in every laptop we buy.

Rogers fell behind to roll out 3g, then quickly caught up to 3.5g and now 4g is only a year away

Everybody needs to keep their e-peen nice hard and sharp in case of emergency.

so just a faster wireless data network?

it'll be pretty sweet to implement it during the olympics so that people anywhere in town can see what events are happening and see medal counts and so on

i dont care if they have a 5/6/7/8/9/10G that reaches quadrillion terabytes per second.

they don't even have a fucking unlimited data plan....

BGR for the failsauce.:p

Edit:

Read this - http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...up/#more-17916

so its not hapening
mehhh
ahaha

Yeah, like I believe that. COVERUP...ahahha

I have faith! :haha:

the only thing i like about this is maybe the prices for 3g or edge will drop
it's like so what i have internet on my phone, only 1/10 friends that i have pays for internet on their phone here in canada. i feel like a fucking dinosaur. i can't even snap a pic of something and email it to someone for them to see instantly (on their phone)

prices for 3g wont drop..prices for data didnt drop, but u get more data for the same 30bux u pay...

So....the price for data did drop ($/MB), but there aren't cheaper plans for 'light' data usage yet.

Why would rogers want to cover up something like an LTE launch? Especially since Bell and Telus has already stated (if i remember correctly) they're going LTE once the HSPA network is up. Not to mention Verizon has already announced LTE down south. I'd like to believe it is a cover up but I see no reason they would from my perspective. I'd guess that they wouldn't have it up by Jan. Maybe 3-4Q if anything
