This document discusses making mobile broadband financially viable through LTE networks. It provides customer case studies showing how network optimization can improve speeds and reduce congestion. It also notes that while data usage is increasing, revenue growth has not kept pace. To achieve profitability, new revenue models are needed, such as charging more for premium services like high-quality video or priority business applications. The document suggests options for flexible billing, usage controls, and partnerships with third parties to generate new sources of income beyond traditional per-gigabyte pricing.
