Consumers will add 150 million new data subscriptions for their tablet devices in the next five years, creating a new data access market representing $15 billion in revenue by the end of 2017, when tablet subscriptions will reach 172 million worldwide, Strategy Analytics says.
"Less than 13 percent of the global tablet installed base will have active mobile broadband service in 2012, yet in the US, both AT&T and Verizon Wireless saw tablets play a key role in net subscriber additions in the second quarter this year," says Susan Welsh de Grimaldo, Director, Mobile Broadband Opportunities (MBO) at Strategy Analytics.
Long Term Evolution will become the access technology of choice for mobile network connections, accounting for nearly 68 percent of mobile broadband tablet subscriptions by the end of 2017, Strategy Analytics says.
