Consumers will have to buy a new handset in most cases to use the new networks, and there are few 4G handsets to choose from, at the moment. That is one reason why mobile broadband for PCs typically is a lead application for new 4G networks.
If 4G adoption is anything like 3G adoption, it might take a while before people figure out how and why to use it. For the moment, wireless service providers have other motivations, such as lowering the cost to deliver mobile broadband to end users. For the moment, that will be enough.
There's plenty of time to figure out what new "killer" apps will drive 4G adoption.
