Get the Latest Insights on 4G

 

The 4G battle is on and operators are racing to secure the largest 4G footprint in the fastest possible time frame. Currently, Clearwire (and its wholesale partners) claim the lead with 100 mobile WiMAX markets deployed. But Verizon is a fast follower with its 38 LTE markets as of year-end 2010. 

But the 4G race is just getting started and first-to-market doesn’t necessarily equate to 4G leadership. Thus, 4G is becoming a fractured term taken over by the marketing departments and leaving consumers to determine what 4G means and why they should purchase it.

Brought to you by the editors of FierceWireless, The Path to 4G one-day event examined the next stage of 4G, including what pricing models carriers are launching for their 4G services and how they are differentiating it from 3G; what 4G devices are resonating with consumers;  who the 4G leaders are and why; and how operators will efficiently deliver applications and handle backhaul transport.
