January 6, 2010 � Strategy Analytics forecasts growth of global active mobile broadband subscriptions via smartphones and other handsets, notebooks, netbooks and other consumer electronics from a base of 300 million in 2009 to 1.3 billion by the end of 2014. The Strategy Analytics Mobile Broadband Opportunities (MBO) service report, �Global Active Mobile Broadband Subscribers Forecast: 2008 – 2014,� also predicts that new technologies will play an important role in this growth, with LTE contributing 84% of net subscriber additions in 2014, and mobile WiMAX an additional 11%.

�Mobile Broadband is the exciting new frontier for consumer electronics, bringing a whole new world of connectivity, community and creativity to users. In 2014, almost half of mobile broadband net subscriber additions will be on devices other than mobile phones. Success will require new business models and partnerships, and Strategy Analytics is excited to see new announcements from Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile USA at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES),� says Susan Welsh de Grimaldo, Director of the Strategy Analytics Mobile Broadband Opportunities (MBO) service.
