Real cell phone excitement is a ways off, but this bears watching in case there is a sentiment turn. Ericsson, the world's biggest supplier of telecoms infrastructure, revealed on Monday it had started planning for a fourth generation of mobile phone systems, that will represent another big leap in internet connection speeds and picture quality. Hakan Eriksson, head of research at Ericsson, said 4G could bring connection speeds up to 50 times faster than third generation networks - the first of which will be operational next year - and three dimensional visual experiences for the first time. The information comes at a time when telecoms operators are still facing huge bills for the cost of buying 3G licences and before the business case for their massive investments has been proven. "You will be able to have the experience of sitting in the stadium at the Olympics and really feeling you are there," Mr Eriksson told the Financial Times. Ericsson also believes 4G will be less dependent on menus and scrolling. Your phone - or "virtual reality device" - will be able to recognise whether you are standing in front of your garage door and want to open it, or standing in a supermarket aisle wanting to buy something.
