How U.S. Carriers Are Setting The LTE Revenue Pace
Instead of reinventing the wheel, global LTE operators should watch what U.S. carriers are doing regarding network buildout, pricing and device strategies, advises Chris Nicoll, principal analyst at Analysys Mason.

Their competitors are launching flat-rate plans to attract value-buyers, but long-term monetization will remain a question for these operators. And it’s still all about spectrum, with the analyst pointing to hot and heavy M&A activity stateside between the four principal wireless players.
