Exactly, if look at the exact quote below it starts with "4G", not 3G/4G! He is saying 4G will cost less than it's predecessor, 3G.

If you look at his analogies of home interenet getting faster and faster while the price being higher. When you had (if you had) dial up at home and then you switched to low speed DSL, did you still use both dial up and DSL? No, one would just use DSL. If you had DSL and switched to a cable modem, did you continue to run DSL while using the cable modem? No, you would just use cable modem.

Now if you used a cable modem and DSL wouldn't you be paying more than either service alone? Of course you would because you would be using two services.

End point, Hesse was talking about the performance of 4G alone being better than while costing less than 3G alone.

A good analogy that has been used for 4G, and 3G, and 2G, is kind of moving from Dial-up data at home, to low speed DSL, to a cable modem and then to faster speeds. Or in TV terms, standard def versus high def, but if you looked at those models, you paid more for faster speeds. You paid more for the HD channels. In essence what we're doing with 4G is we're throwing in the HD channels for free, because we're not charging any more (SUBTEXT ADDED for 4G than what we did/do for 3G) and we're giving customer's more."
