4G LTE is used to describe the fourth generation of wireless networks, which is run on LTE technology. According to Verizon, one of the initial providers of 4G LTE service, mobile phone users with that faster technology can download pictures and stream videos with no delay.Even though it's still in its infancy, research from Parks Associates shows that as of June 2012, 83 wireless carriers in 43 countries had launched LTE networks. Forty more plan to deploy LTE technology by the end of the year. Parks Associates estimates 4G LTE subscribership will increase from 9 million in 2011 to more than 560 million in 2016.
