  • Abstract
    Wireless mobile industry is one of the fastest growing industries of our time. A mobile phone has transformed from an expensive tool of convenience to an economic necessity unbound by intellect, wealth or age. With the promise of 4G networks in the horizon the question of network feasibility also raises its head: "how far can the technological attractions carry a network?" In this paper, we discuss the consumers\´ perspective of 4G technology and the possibility of success for it in Malaysia by discussing the results of a consumer behaviour study.
