4G LTE installations speed up innovation in a number of Eastern European markets: facts, figures, realities and perspectives.

The proliferation of mobile video and Cloud services consumption is worldwide. This trend is powered by the installations of the 4GLTE and 3G networks. In Eastern Europe, for example, Connectikpeople.co observes that, Yota has evolved from being a WiMAX pioneer to a mainstream LTE service provider that supports wholesale LTE services for other Russian carriers.

Further Connectikpeople.co can also observe increasing monthly average revenue per user (ARPU) in a number of countries in the region, such as Poland, Russia, the Czech

Republic, to name a few.  

In this momentum, and as part of our global commitment, Connectikpeople.co has captured for you a recent report from ABI Research which allows us to reveal some figures and perspectives from this market.

According to this Index, Mobile service revenues in Eastern Europe grew 4.3% year-on-year (YoY) in 4Q-2013. At the end of December 2013, there were 9.84 million LTE subscriptions in the region (up 410% YoY).

The same study reveals that in 2008, total data service revenues were just US$ 7.58 billion, of which messaging constituted 50%. By the end of 2014, total data service revenues are expected to reach US$ 18.3 billion, for a 32% share of overall mobile service revenue.
