I think an important topic for discussion is Mobile broadbrand pricing – particularly in markets where prices are lower or have dropped, compared to the U.S. – and its effect on adoption and usage.

I would be interested in any data and perspectives you or readers might offer.

Developed countries in north america and Europe would see more adoption to 4G mobile broadband as 4G is the next generation mobile broadband and can resolve speed and traffic issues better than 3G.

yeah yeah, we have heard that before, as it will be a completely new technology we would need new hardware to access high speed even though one can access from 3G handset….”in order to truly experience 4G technology” it would be better to buy new hardware”
