manufacturers and software developers to test their products on high-sped
mobile broadband networks and receive analysis on how those products are
performing in an LTE environment.

France, and South Korea, as well as another one in the US in Dallas.

advance the world of high-speed mobile content so the entire industry can take

by mid 2012.
