Post comment on The Verge to "Apple to pay out $2.25M settlement in response to Australia '4G' iPad controversy"

Reply to: by csdheeraj

In India we have HSPA+ 21mbps and its still not called 4G here too.

I guess it just depends on the operators whether or not to market using that term.

One reason why not market an HSPA+ as 4G would be because it is essentially an upgrade rather revision to the existing technology rather than a new technology.

Is/Was there anyone other than T-Mobile who benefited from the HSPA+ being branded as 4G?
