 According to the boffins at Juniper Research they have forecasts that HSPA will dominate mobile broadband network deployments over the next five years, consistently accounting for about 70% of the total mobile broadband subscriber base until 2012.
The research also discovered that globally, nearly 1 in 3 mobile subscribers will use a mobile broadband connection by 2012. This will represent over 1Bn users, driven by demand from North America, Western Europe and to a lesser extent by the Far East and China.
However, the main gating issue that will dictate takeup for this technology will be the availability of suitable devices – whether handsets, laptops, datacards, or other types of device such as media players. Mobilebroadband will be a device-based technology.
