And T-Mo started calling their HSPDA+ "4G" first, which is why AT&T decided to do the same thing.
It's all BS. Most of them, LTE, HSPA+ (or HSPDA+... I wish they would decide on one acronym and stick with it) are all still within the 3G speed range.
Until they get to 100 mbit/s mobile (at the moment, they range from 6-20 mbit/s) and 1gbit/s fixed (which all of those are very far from), none of them are real 4G.
WiMAX is the only one that has the ability to reach that speed level, but I don't think they are there yet. And WiMAX's high frequency range makes it harder to penetrate deep within buildings.
