Globally, LTE subscriptions will make up less than 1% (.8%) of all mobile
phone subscriptions by year-end 2012. LTE will grow to almost 10 percent of
global mobile subscriptions by 2017. Although LTE subscription penetration in
the Asia-Pacific region will remain lower than the global average, two
countries in the region - Japan and South Korea - are leaders in LTE adoption,
surpassed only by the US in current and expected new subscriptions in the next
three years. By 2017 China and Indonesia will be important growth markets.
Latin America will also continue to show lower LTE penetration than the global
average. We expect almost 7% of mobile subscriptions in Brazil to be LTE by
2017, making the regional giant an important driver of global growth in LTE,
despite lower than average adoption.
