Global Mobile Broadband Market 2013-2018
Formerly treated as a luxury in developed nations, mobile broadband speeds are quickly becoming a global norm. Ubiquitous high-speed connectivity is being engendered by network operators and national governments alike. Networks are making their foray into fibre backbones, which will facilitate the installation of LTE small cells and push heterogeneous networks forward. Visiongain has calculated that global mobile broadband revenue will reach $231 billion in 2013.
Emerging markets will play a central role in mobile broadband market expansion. Whereas developed mobile markets such as those of Japan, Sweden, and Korea are reaching saturation, China, India, Indonesia, and the like are becoming hotbeds for smartphone proliferation. Many of these have lower smartphone penetration rates, rising per capita income, and a strong tendency towards FMS, trends that indicate a prosperous, fast-growing immediate future for mobile broadband.
Dominated by HSPA, the mobile broadband market is set to grow hand-in-hand with fixed broadband, LBS, IPTV, automotive connectivity, and mobile VoIP. Strong and diverse offerings from OEMs, rapid 3G/4G deployment tables from operators, and increasing receptiveness from regulators all point to a surging mobile broadband ecosystem that is prepared to keep pace with expanding consumer demand.

Erasmo Rojas, Director of Latin America, 4G Americas
4G Americas is a wireless sector association that promotes, facilitates, and advocates for the deployment of the 3GPP family of mobile broadband technologies throughout the ecosystem – including networks, services, applications and wirelessly connected devices – in the Americas. Erasmo Rojas is the Director of Latin America and the Caribbean for 4G Americas and is responsible for providing information to mobile operators, vendors, regulators, telecommunications organizations and the media and analysts regarding the 3GPP family of technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean and its evolution to 3G and 4G including LTE. He informs these key audiences on the wireless industry’s latest developments to facilitate the successful development of the 3GPP family of technologies and next-generation advanced mobile services throughout the region.
He holds a BSEE in Electronics Engineering from the Distrital University in Bogotá, Colombia, a Master of Science in Telecommunications from the University of Colorado in Boulder and an MBA in International Management and Marketing from the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
Industry Developments: Last Year and the Year Ahead
Visiongain: Visiongain wrote a report on mobile broadband in April of last year, a time since which there have been major changes for the ecosystem. Take me through some of those developments, how they have impacted operations, and the kind of responses you have seen from operators and infrastructure manufacturers.
Erasmo Rojas: When we look at 1Q12 to 1Q13, we are looking at two complementary technologies: 3G and 4G. In the case of 3G – including HSPA and HSPA+ – by the end of 1Q12 there were about 90 million subscriptions in Latin America. A year later, in March 2013, this figure has increased to 134 million subscriptions. So we’ve seen an increase of almost 50%. That gives us an idea of how much end-users in the region want to use data services.
When it comes to 4G or LTE, the first networks in Latin America were launched at the end of 2011, so if I make the same comparison – March 2012 to March 2013 – there are now 20 commercial LTE networks in the region but adoption has not grown as much.
