Vodacom achieves the impossible

Cell C originally claimed HSPA (normal 3G) as 4G while Vodacom claims LTE.

As stated by numerous international and local experts, the difference is in the air interface with the defining difference between 3G and 4G the switch from WCDMA to OFDM.
That is not the argument that Vodacom presented. They claimed that both HSPA and LTE doesn't fall under 4G by ITU definitions. This is a BS ruling. You can't have it both ways. I wonder what will happen if Cell C files another simultaneous appeal against both rulings using each against the other.

In any case I've had it with these terms. You guys have all abused them with marketing to no end, 3.25G, 3.5G, 3.75G, 3.85G, 3.9G... no there is no such thing. You only have 3G and not 4G by proper definitions and then it isn't even proper 3G.
