Many marketing strategies for Value-based data plans are centered around providing more choice, increased flexibility and an overall better experience for existing subscribers, and on generating additional revenues from them. But Value-based plans are equally powerful in the preceding step: attracting new subscribers or getting feature phone users to move to smartphones.

Backhaul is crucial to the small-cell business case. Without high-capacity, ultra-compact, low-cost backhaul, the small-cell market will struggle to grow.
Backhaul for small cells requires more than just re-purposing existing backhaul solutions. This is a new market for backhaul vendors – a big opportunity but also a big challenge as they strive to meet a very different set requirements from what they are used to in the macro-cellular environment.

Could mobile operators planning to move to fiber backhaul meet their backhaul requirements in the short term and save money, by deploying wireless backhaul first and move to fiber later? Our model shows that over 10 years, operators can save up to 27% when deploying wireless first, and building a fiber network later.

What do mobile operators think about VoLTE? Operators like MetroPCS and Verizon have announced aggressive VoLTE plans, with MetroPCS planning to launch two to three VoLTE handsets before the end of 2012, and Verizon expecting to launch VoLTE by early 2013. But what are the views of the people that shape the strategy at mobile operators on VoLTE? We conducted a survey of mobile operators and this is what we found out.

Growth in demand and worries about supply levels are driving an increase in oil prices. Why aren't traffic growth and capacity limitations raising the prices (and monetization opportunities) for wireless data?

We all love a fight, and for a long time small cells and Wi-Fi offload have been presented as competing approaches, mostly with Wi-Fi as the initial, cheap-and-cheerful solution to be eventually by carrier-grade small cells. But this is not what is happening.
