Verizon Wireless users will experience latency of just 30 milliseconds when the new Long Term Evolution network is launched later this year. That will be quite helpful for users of real-time services including voice, video and cloud-based services.

$3 Billion in U.S. Cable Operator Backhaul Revenue by 2015
Monday, July 12th, 2010
Mobile backhaul is a $3 billion opportunity for U.S. cable operators by 2015, says Visant Strategies.
“A strong mix of fiber, copper and microwave technologies are now being used for backhaul,” said Andy Fuertes of Visant Strategies. “But mobile wireless operators have to look for more means to obtain higher backhaul capacities and quickly in some cases. Cable operators can offer needed backhaul at both the edge of the network, where the need is now, and in the middle network, where the need is in the very near future.”
Sprint, Clearwire and possibly T-Mobile are the leading candidates to provide much of the revenue, as none of those firms will be anxious to pay their top mobile competitors (AT&T and Verizon) the backhaul revenue. Conversely, AT&T and Verizon likewise will prefer to purchase from other telcos when they can.
