Comment on LTE: Around the World by Bryan Rieger

"Some predict that the total number of LTE subscribers will hit 153 million by 2014." That sounds like a BIG number, but when you look at the population of the planet today (~6.8 billion) it kinda puts it into perspective... we can expect 2.5% global penetration by 2014? In the meantime while we're waiting for 4G might I suggest: http://www.slideshare.net/bryanrieger/the-end-of-unlimited-bandwidth

Comment on Verizon LTE Launches Without Mac Support by Adam

Does it even matter that what Verizon is calling 4G isn't 4G?

Most people have Windows operating systems, this is normal start for Verizon, it seems carefully planned. I am sure there is much more to come by February.

Comment on For $55, What Kind of LTE Experience Does MetroPCS Deliver? by tom

i would disagree with the statement from metroPCS about what their customers are looking for. i am quite familiar with the retail environment in both metroPCS and cricket retail stores. high end smartphones(usually flashed(converted) from verizon or sprint) are not only in very high demand(far beyond the supply) plus prepaid customers are easily willing to pay in the $400 - $700 range for used phones. that is something very different from the major carriers. the reality is that metro's leapfroging of 3G means that for now at least customers are unable to use fast data on the phones they can easily obtain(new or used phones flashed from spring or verizon) and are instead limited to either metro's limited 4G selection or using WIFI only for data.

Operator Says LTE Subscribers Using 15 GB Per Month!

One of the most interesting presentations we saw last week was a video conference keynote from Teliasonera, the first operator to have a commercial LTE network. In a lot of ways, Teliasonera is not a typical carrier, but they had some interesting insight to share on their experiences to date. They have seen a healthy degree of interest in their mobile data cards. They said that the average smartphone user on their network consumed 375MB/month of data. The average broadband user on their network, largely 3G data cards, consumed 5 GB/month. But the average LTE consumer (essentially all data cards) used 14 GB – 15GB/month of data.

Comment on Politics Matter: Verizon Picks West Virginia for LTE Launch by John Ramella

I live 5 miles outside of Lewisburg WV... no access to cable TV, lot too wooded for satellite dish, sporadic 3G coverage from AT&T;, neighbor's Verizon coverage even worse. Who says USA isn't a third world country?

Comment on MetroPCS: This Isn’t the LTE Network You’re Looking For by Fulaman

That's so true Tom, I as a MetroPCS customer want the latest Android 2.2 phone or Windows Phone 7 phone or even a Blackberry OS 6 phone. Metro has no clue what they are talking about.
