In an article featured in ElectronicsWeekly.com, Richard Wilson writes:

LTE is set to become the most successful mobile phone standard with the fastest commercial deployment, according to the GSA mobile suppliers association. ..."With 145 LTE networks commercially launched and over 560 user devices announced in the market supporting millions of customers worldwide, LTE technology is mainstream and firmly established as the fastest developing mobile system technology ever," said Alan Hadden, President of the GSA.GSA forecasts that 234 LTE networks will be commercially launched in 83 countries by the end of 2013.

I learned many moons ago not to be too skeptical about the future of wireless technology.  I do remember thinking and verbalizing, "this cellular stuff is just never going to be more than a business tool, there is no way we will ever be watching videos on our phones!"  

My "crystal ball" was I admit just a tad out of focus on that one!

Heard today there are more mobile devices in service in the world than there are people in the world!
