MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of Business Monitor International's new report "United States Telecommunications Report Q4 2010" to their collection of Wireless market reports. For more information, visit http://www.marketresearch.com/product/display.asp?ProductID=2846243 Verizon Wireless intends to reach 100mn Americans with its LTE coverage by the end of 2010, announcing at a recent communications conference that 30 NFL cities (cities with NFL franchises) would be connected to the 4G technology by the end of 2010. AT&T plans on launching its own commercial lLTE network by mid-2011, a significant acceleration of its previous launch plans. Meanwhile, both operators along with T-Mobile USA, have been enhancing and augmenting their 3G networks with software-based upgrades, meaning that faster data processing and transmission speeds have been rolled out very quickly and with no disruptions to the networks. Sprint Nextel was able to reverse a long-term trend of losing subscribers with significant increases in wholesale and prepaid customers, due to newly acquired MVNO Virgin Mobile and Common Cents Mobile, a flat-rate prepaid service available in about 700 Walmart stores. Higher-ARPU post paid subscribers continue to decline. However, the postpaid quarterly churn rate was below 2% for the first time in five years. Sprint remains committed to its WiMAX-based 4G network, which has expanded to more markets. Sprint's handsets have been popular, scoring a surprise hit with its EVO WiMAX handset, even against the backdrop of Apple/AT&T's unveiling of a fourth generation iPhone. More recently, Sprint's dual 3G/4G phone, the Samsung Epic 4G, were launched in early September with one of the best first-day sales of any Sprint device. Read more -here-
