Althought 3G wireless technology is still in its infancy here in the U.S. and around the globe, China wants to be the first to have a fully-functional "4G" standard in place.

1. "China aims to hold field tests for the 4G system--whose rollout has cost 150 million yuan ($19.3 million) and will allow data transmission at up to 100 megabytes per second, several times faster than current technology--and put it into trial commercial use up until 2010, the paper added."
Wow, that seems really cheap for a 100 megaBYTE per second network. I mean, like, wow. Those chinese have done it again!
