Strategy Analytics has forecast 500 million mobile broadband users globally by 2010.

“We’re not likely to see technologies like mobile WiMAX or indeed, anything else, really take off until the next decade,” comments Sara Harris, Senior Industry Analyst at Strategy Analytics and author of this report. “However, HSPA and EV-DO will be more than acceptable for most users, giving them the speed and flexibility they want to use their fixed internet applications on the move.”
