China does 4G before 3G
My thought after reading China launches 4G before 3G off the ground is, at least for the Chinese market: Skip 3G altogether and go directly for high-speed wireless broadband. 3G is "so traditional telecom" anyway and the future is very data-intensive information services (streaming audio and video, multiplayer gaming etc). Sure, we need voice too, but that can ride over wireless broadband (as VoIP) or existing 2G infrastructure, unless overcrowded.
