Delivering bandwidth & QoE
2G/3G
2G/3G

 Low-speed, no QoS, best effort browsing and SMS

 Limited number of business models:
 POMS (plain old mobile service)
 Blackberry (enterprise-driven, E-mail)
 iPhone (operator-locked app domain)
4G/LTE

 Millions of multi-Mbps flows

 End-to-end guaranteed QoS
 Network-wide and global policy enforcement
 Allow operators to make $en$e of Web 2.0
 Wireless broadband
