The
new iPad product brings several advantages, among them the Retina Display
screen and support for 4G LTE in the U.S. through Verizon and AT & T
and in Canada. In Australia, Apple also advertises the new iPad with 4G
capabilities described by Apple as a support for HSPA + networks rather than
LTE.
Top
of the ad, an organization called the Australian Competition & Consumer
Commission (ACCC) considers the ad as misleading. ACCC alleges that Apple promotions
recently about the new iPad with 4G + wifi capability in Australia misleading
because it does not happen. Apple was actually written testimony in support of
4G iPad Australia is HSPA + version. Mentioned that the new iPad will use HSPA
+ in Australia but could use LTE if the United States or Canada. This
information is considered to be less clear and create confusion to distinguish
4G LTE and 4G HSPA.
Before
this debate about 4G was warmed by the ITU (International Telecommunications
Union) refused to grant status to the HSPA + 4G. But then succumb to the ITU
and the cellular operator to enter HSPA + 4G. The Australian Government does
not seem to agree with that view and therefore it intends to ban a product
because of the misleading advertising.
