US Wireless Operator Attention Has Turned to Next Generation Networks

Business Wire, June 15, 2007

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c59783) has announced the addition of Americas Wireless Landscape 2007 to their offering.

With consolidation out of the way, US operator attention has turned to their next generation networks; exemplified by Verizon's continued roll-out of EV-DO, Cingular's deployment of HSDPA and Sprint Nextel's embrace of WiMAX. With its freshly awarded licenses, T-Mobile's 3G play is imminent.
