LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the project name given to development of a high performance air interface for cellular mobile communication systems. It is the last step toward the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks.

Who's in charge of defining and maintaining this technology?

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards group has developed and maintains LTE high-speed wireless technology.

3GGP unites telecom standard development organizations so that everybody uses the same technology.

LTE-A, LTE-Advanced, 4G+, and LTE+

LTE-A, LTE-Advanced, 4G+, and LTE+ are all acronyms for the same 4G service. It's a faster version of LTE.

How fast is LTE-A? Again, in theory, LTE-A data rates are up to 300Mbps. In practice, you can expect between 40 to 90Mbps.
