LTE 4G to gain 32 million subscribers by 2013

Even before its launch in 2010 or later, the fourth-generation (4G) technology Long Term Evolution (LTE) is forecast to become the choice of many network operators. LTE may have more than 32 million subscribers by 2013, according to a study from ABI Research. ABI senior analyst Nadine Manjaro attributes about 37.5 percent or 12 million of the subscribers to Asia-Pacific countries, while the remaining percentage will be split between Western Europe and North America. Telecom companies that have announced their plans of adopting 4G LTE include China Mobile, Japan’s NTT Docomo and KDDI, Vodafone and Verizon Wireless.
