Most people understand the word “puffery” when it comes to advertising. It means that you can expect the information to contain some exaggeration when the materials are presented. But does it mean that the truth can be stretched to the point of being inaccurate or misleading?
In all advertising about cell-phones the term 4G is used without any definition of the meaning of that term. When the standard for the 4G service was proposed it was used to give the guideline of 100 meg download speed.
In the US the current term is called 4G LTE. to mean a wireless cellular service that would be between 20 and 50 meg download speed.
T-Mobile has a commercial running that they call “See It Again” They compare an Apple iPhone 4S running 3G speed on AT&T to T-Mobile 4G. The announcer says “What Does 4G on T-Mobile Look Like? – Want To See It Again” as their attractive Spokesperson speeds by.
First an iPhone 4S runs at 3G speeds as a maximum, on any network, that is a limit of the iPhone. As this is written (07/24/2012) T-Mobile has no network running a true 4G of any kind. T-Mobile is reported to start building their 4G LTE service during 2013. To be fair both AT&T and T-Mobile try to refer to their current enhanced 3G, and HSPA+ networks as 4G.
