October 23, 2009 | ZDNet Asia - Operators should wait before embarking on a full-scale LTE (long term evolution) rollout, but still plan now in order to be a part of the eventual 4G game, analyst house Ovum has advised.
According to Jeremy Green, practice leader of Ovum's mobile division, there are "few first-mover advantages" for LTE network upgrades given the lack of a clear revenue stream to justify the high capital investment. As such, there was "no need to rush headlong into implementation. he pointed out.
This, in spite of the impending commercial launches of LTE to start next year from the likes of NTT DoCoMo and Verizon.
