The infrastructure cost of building a cell phone network requires that each new generation of technology is in place long enough to recoup investment costs. For that reason, despite 30 years of cellular phones we are only now entering the 4th generation (4G) of cell phone technology. There are many different 4G technologies available, but the most common by far is LTE.

More than 200 operators in 75 countries would have launches LTE by the end of 2013. This is all set to be a great year for LTE.

In an era of price wars, commoditization of core voice-based services, slowing subscriber growth rate and falling profit margins, telecom service providers are increasingly investing in certain technologies that will help them control churn by providing value added and intelligent services.

The impact of 4G is likely to be significant on the Indian telecom market when most of the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) license holders will roll out LTE services across the nation in 201330. There will be substantial impact of 4G launch on the enterprise segment.

While some industries benefit from an increasingly mobile and connected society, others are struggling to stay relevant.
