Not today• Initial coverage limitations• Limited spectrum, and spectrum is expensive• Mobile data demand continues to exceed supply
Not in the future• Build‐out can’t keep up with projected data demands• Cost per MB is lower on Wi‐Fi

Wi‐Fi is becoming an increasingly important and integrated component of today’s mobile network fabricMobile broadband is not a replacement for Wi‐Fi; rather, the two technologies are complementaryWi‐Fi will be more relevant in the 4G era than it was in 3GHeterogeneous Networks (HetNets) is the clear industry direction to increasing cellular capacity and coverage
