Summary
 2007 and 2008 have been banner years for the cellular modem market, as many operators worldwide have aggressively beefed up their 3G data service offerings, and consequently cellular modem manufacturers have offered a wide variety of 3G cellular modems. 2007 shipments reached 12.6 million, with 2008 shipments expected to reach over 20 million. Although In-Stat expects the economic downturn to affect cellular modem purchases negatively in 4Q08, the 1H08 and the third quarter 2008 were still quite strong in terms of shipment growth.
 
 This report provides the following:
 - End-user data on cellular laptop data usage
 - Profiles of key vendors in the cellular modem market
 - Shipment forecasts for external and embedded cellular modems
 - Forecast breakout between USB modems and PC cards

Summary
 4G technologies are formally those that will meet the ITU's IMT-Advanced requirements. The two technologies that are expected to meet these requirements include LTE Advanced and 802.16m WiMAX. 4G technologies are extensions of what we are just beginning to see today in mobile WiMAX and in LTE.
 
 With 802.16e WiMAX deployments already launched worldwide, LTE proponents have jumped up their efforts to speed up development, so they are not left behind. Overall, In-Stat expects that mobile WiMAX will ultimately outpace LTE over the forecast period, due to timing of network roll-outs. Mobile WiMAX effectively came on the scene in 2006 with South Korea's WiBro. Comparatively, the earliest commercial LTE deployment will be 2009. Japan's NTT DoCoMo is expected to begin its commercial services in the late 2009/2010 timeframe.
 
 In-Stat expects that mobile WiMAX and LTE subscriptions will represent only a miniscule portion of the total 2G/3G/4G subscriptions over the next five years. Even in 2013, In-Stat expects that GSM/GPRS/EDGE will account for nearly 2.8 billion subscriptions, representing more than 55 percent of the total 4.8 billion 2G/3G/4G subscriptions expected in 2013.

 Wi-Fi and hotspots have become commonplace; however, resistance to paying for access remains high. Over the last 12 months hotspot operators have gone through some profound changes to survive in a market where demand increases while willingness to pay for the service decreases.
 
 In-Stat's 2008 hotspot market includes the following:
  End-user data on how and where the service is used.
  End-user data around willingness to pay for hotspot services.
  Supply-side analysis on how operators are changing their business strategies.

Summary
 Mobile wireless broadband will give operators a way to grow revenues as voice revenue growth starts to slow. The secret to successfully selling wireless broadband will require operators to put together the proper mix of service features with the right pricing. Based on the survey data collected by In-Stat, WiMAX provides the right mix of features and pricing to appeal to consumers.
 
 Report data comes from two surveys, one of mass-market consumers and the other of business users. Data in the report includes the following:
 
 - Likes and dislikes of 3G cellular and Wi-Fi
 - Service selection criteria
 - Measure of respondents interest in 3G cellular, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX services
 - Data on what service providers need to do to market WiMAX services
 - Willingness to switch from current fixed broadband provider for WiMAX
 
 NOTE: Survey was based on laptop data services, not phone handsets.

Summary
 Sprint should have used the CTIA show as a launching pad for its Xohm service, but instead presented more of the same old stuff around WiMAX. Sprint continues to delay making a solid announcement about the service, while continuing to claim that it is a major priority.
