Ask HN: Startup ideas around 4G

2 points by shivam14 ↗ HN
With Clear and Verizon covering major cities in the US by the end of this year and first Android 4G phone coming out soon, there must be a huge potential market for apps that take advantage of high speed wireless broadband. What are your thoughts on this?

the main advantage on 4G is in the bandwidth so I would put some thoughts in the video streaming area

I'm skeptical anything too extreme will take off right away, particularly since battery life is such a big problem for 3G-enabled devices at the moment. I haven't read up on 4G, so I'm not familiar with the power requirements, but I can't imagine it'll be much better. I'm taking a "wait and see" stance.
