Netizens around the globe are eagerly awaiting a wireless broadband solution at par with cable or DSL in terms of speed. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a 4G wireless broadband technology that can establish parity between wireless broadband and wired/fixed internet services. The list of wireless operators keen on rolling out LTE services at the earliest is swelling.
According to ABI Research, a dozen operators across the globe have positioned themselves to launch LTE services in 2010. Verizon Wireless, US Cellular and MetroPCS Wireless are the three US-based operators that figure on the list.
Infrastructure equipment vendors like Huawei, NEC, Fujitsu, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, and Starent are experiencing a windfall as operators prepare themselves to launch LTE services. However, regulatory impediments in some parts of the world mean that a large chunk of people will be deprived of this almost divine wireless bliss until regulators put the necessary spectrum on the block.
