Latest technology will change lives and work for people, says official

China is expected to become the world's biggest Long Term Evolution (LTE) fourth-generation market in the near future, even though the country is still waiting for final approval from the government regarding the issuing of 4G licenses.

The country is about to embrace a critical phase for developing its LTE industry, said Wen Ku, director of the department of science and technology at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, at an LTE forum held in Beijing on Monday.
