Report: 30 Percent On 3G Or 4G Connections By 2013
In-Stat predicts that the proportion of global wireless subscriptions for 3G and 4G networks will increase to 30 percent by the end of 2013 from 11 percent at the end of 2008, based on the wireless infrastructure contract awards in the fourth quarter of last year. In-Stat expects mobile WiMAX to be attractive in developing countries and remote locations where fixed broadband networks are not yet deployed, but isn’t convinced it will be competitive in places with existing 3G and fixed broadband networks. Most WiMAX deployments have been for fixed and nomadic services, with a few exceptions (such as Clearwire) using it for mobile data.
