OK boys and girls, LTE and WiMax are 4G again... (not that they ever weren't)

ITU finally figured out that they were way on the wrong side of this issue, so they did the bureaucratic thing and buried their retraction in an announcement about something else.

So, all you folks who used to get your jollies in pointing out that "LTE isn't 4G" will have to find something else to whinge about.
