If memory serves, Vietnam launched 4G in September 2010.

Yep, better get that memory checked.  USA is using HSPA+ (3g+) and marketing it as 4G.  a european operators is only just launching 4G as a proof of concept  in once small city to test results / performance / issues.

AIS 4G, just marketing hype at this point.  Anyone can throw down a few 4G sites and grab some headlines, in reality they are trailing in the 3G arena and are trying to atleast boost their image as the mobile data leader.

If i remember correctly this Vietnam 4G, same as in Cambodia, was WiMax. Not even close to 4G but marketed as such.

Also good to remember that even LTE is not in 4G speeds yet. Although it now been agreed that LTE can be marketed as 4G.

For anyone looking for the descriptions and speeds just check wikipedia or old posts here. The tables been posted several times.

And US is now running LTE and coverage is improving. Scandinavia has seen selected cities for a some time now.

It's been mostly USB dongles so far but now with US going LTE there starts to be phones and other devices available as well. Latest being new iPad with LTE connectivity (US Frequencies i'd assume).

Its not as if the Thai customs and immigration authorities are likely to be keeping an eye out for dodgy Iranians at the moment.

Yep, agreed.  Their timing is poor to say the least...

Since their terrorists are only able to blowing up their own house, an empty taxi and their own legs off I am not sure Iran is really the threat it is cracked up to be.
