“3G services are expected to remain the most prominent technology over the next five years, with 62.7 million subscribers in 2017, down from 63.6 million in 2012, due to subscriber migration to 4G,” says Olena Kaplan, Associate Analyst at Pyramid Research. The accelerated digital switchover, completed on October 27, 2012, freed up frequencies that will be auctioned in the fourth quarter of 2012, in turn allowing other operators to commercially launch LTE services by early 2013. Everything Everywhere, the largest mobile operator, was the first to launch LTE services, which it did at the end of October 2012, she notes.
UK: Fiber Deployment and Launch of 4G/LTE Boost Broadband is part of Pyramid Research’s Europe Intelligence Report Series and is priced at $990. Download an excerpt or purchase the report here.
