Brian Ducharme, vice president and general manager of AT&T Indiana and Michigan said, "We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Muncie responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices." Besides offering the first LTE enabled 4G Windows Phone with the Nokia Lumia 900, other LTE enabled models on AT&T's lineup include the Samsung GALAXY Note LTE, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the Pantech Element tablet.
The just released 2012 AT&T Small Business Technology Poll shows that 96% of small businesses use wireless technology while 63% said that their business could not survive without the use of wireless technology. One-third of smartphones used by small business for business purposes has 4G support while 86% of the businesses using 4G devices are satisfied with the speed. Of those without a 4G smartphone, 35% plan on picking one up sometime in the next year with that figure rising to 54% over the next two years.
