InForMA TelecoMS & MedIA – AnAlYST InSIGHT

LTE: More frequencies becoming available, butglobally harmonized roaming band is no closerAccording to the latest forecast from InformaTelecoms & Media, the number of lTe subscriptionsworldwide is expected to be around 1.36 billion byend-2018 (see fig. 1).

The addressable market for Td-lTe is expected tobe larger than forecast a year ago (over 560 millionby 2018), but because of a proportionate rise inglobal addressable lTe-Fdd subscription numbers(1.98 billion by 2018), it is expected to remain atabout 30% of the global addressable market by endof the forecast period (see fig. 2).
