Re: What race?
Agreed. I also found this quote strange
"The government should pursue the free market policies that enabled the US wireless industry to win the race to 4G."
Especially because looking in terms of penetration (sorry Wikipedia but too lazy to search further) the USA is only 4th in terms of penetration
Rank Country/Territory Penetration
1 South Korea 96%
2 Japan 93%
3 Norway 87%
4 United States 87%
And talking about implementation dates, the South Koreans and Norwegians both beat the States to early 4G systems. So winning means not coming first or having the highest penetration?
