By Larry Hendrick | August 27, 2007
Beginning today in Seoul, Korea, the 5th Annual Samsung 4G Forum 2007, brings together supporters of the three different competing 4G technologies. Attendees will get a first-hand look at the pros and cons of each of these.

It will mark the first time that all three candidate 4G technology _ IEEE 802.16m (Mobile WiMAX), 3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) _ will be seen with each other.Each of the 4G technologies has a head cheerleader, with Intel supporting WiMAX, Ericsson touting LTE and Qualcomm preferring UMB.
