Abstract 4G, whatever that might actually be, tends to suck all the air out of the room when people are talking about mobile broadband. This overlooks today's mobile broadband networks, generically called 3G, and the fact that there remains a lot of life left in 3G. For at least the next half-decade, more people will experience mobile broadband via a 3G network than they will from either of the two technologies (LTE, WiMAX) commonly referred to as 4G. Of two of the most populace countries of the world, one of them, China, has just started deploying 3G, and the other, India, hasn't even licensed spectrum to operators. Even in the US, T-Mobile just launched its 3G network last year. The advent of the next wireless technology generation hardly means the end of the previous. Included in this report are the following:
-All base station forecasts segmented by GSM, CDMA2000, CDMA EV-DO, WCDMA/HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, and LTE -Base station forecasts for both total deployed, and yearly shipments -Handset forecasts by GSM, CDMA, WCDMA/HSPA+, LTE, and TD-SCDMA -Data revenue forecasts broken down by 2 & 3G, across six global regions -2 & 3G data ARPU across six global regions -3G network deployments by region and infrastructure vendor -Vendor profiles
