When Maslow's pyramid expanded its definition by adding Wi-fi as the most basic need of human life, you must have received it on a very light note. But by now you must have given up to this notion. Who would have thought that this will soon become the reality of our life? It is indeed tough to imagine life without a hi-speed internet. I remember my struggle with internet speed while working for one of the government clients at a hill station. Although, the speed that I was getting was the best one would expect in a place of that kind. But still it was limited to browsing and emailing as streaming a video or a movie was literally out of scope. The sad part was that on one hand I was staying at one of the most famous hill station of our country and at the same time struggling with internet. It was nothing short of an anomaly that consultants like us usually face.
It cannot be denied that we crave for high speed internet. When 3G came to market, I was elated. Then the smartphone market picked up too. Browsing has never been the same sine then. Now the market is ready for the next big move- the 4G market. Sure we are living in such a wonderful era. Witnessing and experiencing the whole internet revolution is a privilege in itself. The era has arrived when streaming a movie online doesn't involve buffering. It's like owning a large local hard disk where you can store infinite number of movies and videos.
However there are still times when I feel restrained because either the internet speed is not good enough to run a heavy online application or I have insufficient data balance. I wish this limitation vanishes in no time and I am quite hopeful of that. The 4G market is expected to bring such revolution. However if there is no speed/data restriction, god saves me. What I'll do with that unbelievable speed? There's no limit. Here's a small list:
Honestly there is no limit to what I would like to do with 4G speed. The revolution has touched our lives from very close. However it is pity to find that more than 3/4th of the population is still not accessing internet. I wish introduction of 4G would push internet penetration in the rural space of our country.

- Streaming Game of Thrones on HD
- Checking out every other prank videos posted on youtube
- Playing counter-strike online with no interruptions
- High quality photo editing
- Reading harvard case studies
- Listening to songs courtesy online channels like Saavn.com, Gaana.com etc.
- Downloading ultra HD videos of Yosemite's night sky
- Uninterrupted online trading and transaction
- Storing all my important documents to cloud through google drive, drop-box etc.

Currently, I believe, there are very few players who have introduced their 4G plan in the market. Airtel 4G (http://www.airtel.in/4g/) is the pioneer and the first to roll out 4G services but soon the competition will pick up. I must end by saying, 'Exciting times ahead'.
