There’s little doubt that Japan, the US and Korea — where SK Telecom has 7.5 million LTE users — are three of the world’s most developed 4G markets, even if confirmed figures are difficult to come by.

Last year, Strategy Analytics estimated that 2012 would see 50 million global LTE subscriptions. That figure was also cited by a report from Dallas' Parks Associates which crunched the data in July. ABI Research had earlier predicted that worldwide shipments of 4G-compatible smartphones and tablets would reach 61 million during the year.

From the article, "Japan’s DoCoMo hits 10 million LTE subscribers, doubling its numbers in 6 months" by Jon Russell.
