U.S. LTE Arms Race Heats Up

U.S. mobile service providers are in the midst of a major “arms race” aimed at getting new Long Term Evolution fourth generation networks up and running, as customer adoption shows strong growth.

Verizon Wireless, the market leader, says it will complete its national network by mid-2013.

AT&T recently reiterated a timetable that some might call accelerated. T-Mobile USA likewise has stepped up its own efforts to build a nationwide LTE network. And Sprint likewise has purchased significant new assets in the U.S. midwest to support its planned LTE network.

LTE is not a commercial reality many other places in the world, in 2012, though, TeleGeography says.
