PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the technological, licensing and strategic implications of the move to the fourth generation of mobile telecommunicationsDesign/methodology/approachAn initial section provides an analysis of what is meant by fourth generation mobile telecommunications based upon a new taxonomy. This is followed by an overview of all countries where Long Term Evolution is being, or has been, introduced, introducing multiple case studies to illustrate the variety of approaches adopted. After a subsequent summary of what is happening in respect of WiMAX, the paper concludes with an assessment of the prospects for fourth generation technology.FindingsOne key finding is that what is commonly understood to be fourth generation technology is in practice 3.9G rather than 4G. Another is that “true 4G” is shortly to be ratified and will gradually be introduced over the next few years, but that it will be used in different ways by different operators in different countries.Research limitations/implicationsSome data for the case studies is hard to establish with certainty.Practical implicationsVery fast mobile networks are already a reality. Ultra‐fast networks will soon appear but only in limited places. Most customers will not notice the difference.Social implicationsThings that are already easy and quick to download on a mobile device will become even easier and quicker to download. Whether this will matter much is a moot point.Originality/valueThe taxonomy of mobile technology is the only one available in the public sector.

Abstract-The provisioning of wireless data services in the railway environment will become increasingly important for train operators and train constructors in the upcoming years. A wellfounded choice of the technology to be used for the outdoor network connection is investigated in this paper. Several wireless technologies -including HSPA, E-UTRA and WiMAX -are compared by calculating their wireless ranges for reception outside and inside trains, based on the location of the transceiver. These wireless ranges determine the number of base stations needed to cover a pre-defined area along a railway track. Results show that generally 3G (UMTS-HSPA) and 4G (E-UTRA/LTE) technologies offer the best coverage over a range of data rates, from 2 Mbps to 8 Mbps. These data rates relate to a wide variety of services, from network control data, surveillance, crew services to passenger Internet traffic.
