Turn on the radio or television and talk of 4G floods the commercials with major providers touting the massive speeds at which they can deliver data to their customers. We’ve been hearing it for years as 2G has gone to 3G and on now on to 4G. The truth is that most people don’t even know what 4G really even means. We just know it means “fast.” Well, it really stands for “4th Generation” as a point in reference for the series of standards under the framework of the International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced (IMT-Advanced) setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) for high mobility communication. Safe to say that is indeed fast. The standards may be ready to have the bar raised again, thanks to companies like Competitive Companies, Inc. (OTCBB:CCOP), a provider of telecommunication services, including data, voice and video to multiple dwelling units in tier-one and tier-two markets. Little-known Competitive Companies, or “CCI,” with their corporate slogan of “Beyond Broadband” is bringing the type of speed that would make Chuck Yeager proud.

The San Antonio, Texas-based company is certainly low-key when it comes to press releases, but today’s news is worthy of notation as to CCI possibly making waves in the industry. On December 5 at the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio, CCI and its subsidiary Wytec International, Inc., along with top national and international engineers and technical personnel with the City of Columbus, witnessed "117 Mbps" of Internet bandwidth service delivered to multiple mobile devices. The test concluded the first tier of a multi-stage trial program involving the delivery of a "true" 4G service as defined by IMT-Advanced specs.

This event has set Columbus, Ohio apart from any city in America as being the first to exceed the 4G speed barrier by more than 50 megabits per second.

"This is a very significant event and we are very pleased that the City of Columbus was chosen for this historic occasion," commented Gary Cavin, Director of the Department of Technology for Columbus.

The second stage of the Trial Program, slated to happen in early 2013, includes tests designed to prove handling of multiple mobile devices simultaneously at 100+ Mbp/s 4G speeds. The final testing tier will evaluate the ability to seamlessly integrate the CCI/Wytec network to connect with a carrier network allowing complete customer integration without loss of carrier contact.

The final test is a milestone for the entire industry as a "first of its kind" demonstration of the actual delivery of 100+ Mbp/s to multiple mobile devices across multiple carrier networks performed simultaneously without losing customer contact at any stage in the hand-off process.

"The most unique and important aspect of this test is that the CCI Offload Solution is carrier agnostic and capable of integrating simultaneously with up to 16 Service Set Identifiers known as 'SSID' connections," says William H. Gray, CEO of Competitive Companies, Inc.

The company plans to build-out its patented 4G Wi-Fi offload solution to a minimum of 15 central business districts across North America by the end of 2013 at a cost of about $1.5 million per district, which will be funded through private and institutional funding.

The company may need to do some share structure cleaning considering it already has more than 300 million shares outstanding, but with a market capitalization of only $2.99 million, following corporation progressions may be time well spent. Proper due diligence is, as always, encouraged.
