Report Overview

This 80-page report analyzes and forecasts the evolution of WLAN and its integration into the mobile network, the traditional WLAN/Cellular business model as put forward by carriers such as T-Mobile, and the relevance of WLAN in an HSDPA/EVDO world. Using carrier case studies and global forecasts of WLAN, VoWLAN and WIMAX, the report provides key insights on mobile carrier approach to WLAN-Cellular convergence, as well as the strategic implications of the emergence in the mobile environment of such key players as Skype. This report also includes over 25 exhibits.

The study will be supplemented by regional reports for North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America. These reports will provide in-depth analysis of WLAN adoption, benchmark WiFi-cellular bundling strategies and examine carrier case studies in all major markets globally."
