What Is 4G Mobile Broadband

Should I install fiber broadband in the office?

Maybe not because I work outside the office most of the time and I work alone.

So the next question is… Has mobile Internet caught up with its speed?

I need the high-speed for online video delivery to clients.

That led me to discover 4G and what 4G is all about.
