"Real" 4G has not only to do with increase bandwidth but also with lower latency, standardization, simpler network architecture for operators, will eventually be all IP based, failover to older gens may be feasable, etc.
From the user POV - Speed, Bandwidth, Rich Applications, Increase in opportunity to make new apps.
From Op POV - Speed, Bandwidth, Better Network Architecture, Simpler Network Management, Increase in opportunity to make new apps, new revenue streams, etc.
The "Real" 4G standard requires 1 gbps for stationary mobile devices, as in when you are not moving.
It requires 100 mbps for moving mobile devices, as in when you are on the move, even at speeds of over 350 kmph. (maybe mph, can't quite remember)
3G cannot deliver that.
So yes, we do need 4G.
Forget 4G, 5G is already being discussed.
