Jot Carpenter wrote a great blog last
week for CTIA entitled “London
Calling to the Faraway Towns: Sometimes.” Despite what many critics may say,
the United States is certainly a world leader in 4G/LTE deployment and
adoption, while carriers in London “are still relying heavily on 2G
networks.” Carpenter reminds us that US consumers represent 50 percent of all
LTE connections worldwide. He presents additional data to conclude that the American
mobile broadband market and its “light regulatory” approach should be modeled
by European policymakers.
