June 13, 2010 - PRLog -- In December 2009, TeliaSonera became the first operator in the world to commercially launch LTE services. The operator plans to expand LTE coverage significantly from its limited starting points in Oslo (Norway) and Stockholm (Sweden) in 2010, as well as in a number of other markets in which the company operates. Although much has been made of its first-mover advantage, significant challenges come hand-in-hand with the benefits.
