The Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) has published an update to its Evolution to LTE report which says that 101 firm LTE network deployments are in progress or planned in 41 countries.
The number of network commitments is 71% higher than GSA reported in a similar survey six months ago, reports the 3G/4G Wireless Blog (Slide Share document). TeliaSonera is preparing to build-out LTE in 218 Swedish towns and cities during 2011.
Meanwhile, the WiMAX Forum says in their August Newsletter that as of the end of 2009, WiMAX covered more than 620 million people across the world, and that number is estimated to grow to 1 billion by the end of 2011.
On August 20th, WiMAX Forum published a WiMAX Product guide featuring over 280 WiMAX end-user devices. Each one of these devices is available today.
