If trademark was a problem then you wouldn't be seeing a gazillion
commercials from AT&T and Verizon touting their 4G networks. That's
really becoming just an umbrella term anyways so it's best for us small
guys to piggy back off of what consumers are becoming familiar
with....remember with what happen with WiMAX.
I find when presenting to business, the best reaction I get from
executives who are technology challenged is when I say we deploy
"Advance 4G fixed wireless services". They have no idea what the term
actually refers to technically, but they've heard it used enough by
Verizon and company to know it's probably a good thing...LOL.
Hell if anything WISPA networks are probably more 4G complain then AT&T
or Verizon!

*The ability to offer high quality of service for next generation
multimedia support.

Gino,
I don't think so..., at least not in the US.
There are many compound word registered trademarks that start or end
with "4G" but the only active entry I find for "4G" by itself is this
one which is not in the field of communictions:
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4006:6ydxa7.2.46
" Charmed.Com Inc." of Beverly Hills did register several graphics
with "4G" in them back in 2000, but they let their registrations lapse.
"LTE" is a registered trademark of ETSI (not 3GPP).
Thanks,
Brough

Best to just stay with standard acronyms and say you're deploying
technologies based on 4G or to expand a bit Fixed-4G
technologies...let the Cell phone carriers do the marketing leg work
while us little guys reap the benefits. Technically if your deploying
802.11n then you meeting the majority of 4G technical requirements
and most users have no clue what any of this means anyways so it's
always best to employ the KISS principle.
