Mobile Broadband

To call Mobile Broadband a “hot topic” in today’s telecom market is a serious understatement. For mobile operators worldwide, 3G has been rightly called the biggest success story in mobile services today; new network capabilities and speed claims have driven increased data revenues, new mobile data users, and even new device categories such as USB dongles and netbooks.

For network vendors, the opportunity to support this service success – with new technologies, base station rollouts, core network upgrades – represents an opportunity to grow revenues at a time when the economy suggests this would otherwise be difficult.

For device vendors, mobile broadband holds the promise of more sophisticated services, implying more sophisticated (i.e., expensive) devices and encouraging new market entrants.

And, as 3G proves out the value of wireless data services, the case is made for new 3G evolutions and proto-4G technologies – what some people might call “real” mobile broadband. Of course, similar to any market that has captured so much attention from so many different market segments, mobile broadband comes with its own critical questions – questions defining the market and the way its participants look at it.
