well, well well, they are using strong words here like turbo coding instead of channel coding or gold codes. to kill the myth immediately, it's not the value of gold that makes these codes shining golden, but a family name: robert gold, but that is something they always forget you to tell.

maybe it's to early to say, but it seems a lot what was announced as advantage over the last years looks at the end of the day like rubbish. and it also seems those people, who are into practical work still don't know what the rumour of 4g should be all about. i remember that i have heard it the first time at 2001. and i understood it simply as an excuse for the false promisses of the ever since rising 3g-standards.
