A majority of mobile operators plan to launch Long Term Evolution services in 2012 or 2013, according to a recent survey by Informa Telecoms & Media. Almost 60 percent of operators say that they will launch 4G services n 2012 (33.7 percent) or next (24.9 percent), while the vast majority – 70.5 percent – believe there is a viable business case to launch 4G today, Informa Telecoms & Media says.
The survey shows that the main reasons operators are launching LTE is to create new revenue streams (34.7 percent); to increase capacity to offer mobile broadband services (23.3 percent); and to build brand value through technology leadership (31.3 percent).
