Ericsson: First taste of 4G likely in 2012

Thailand is set to experience a full pace of 3G network expansion, along with a few planned 4G pilot projects, in 2012, says the Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson.

Tablet-based enterprise mobility solutions and cloud-based services are likely to become new lucrative business models for mobile operators, giving them a new revenue stream in the mobile broadband era.

Bunyati Kirdniyom, head for communications and regulatory affairs of Ericsson Thailand, said major mobile operators were likely to focus on 3G infrastructure expansion next year to serve increasing demand for mobile internet, driven mainly by the proliferation of smartphones and tablets.

    @ urges, discussion 1, I do get 3G in Thailand, even upcountry, although not everywhere.

    "Thailand is set to experience a few planned 4G pilot projects in 2012" and "is likely to experience 4G, next year". Next year - or did he say that in 2011?!

    LOL. Laos already has 4G.
