Comments by "じょいすじょん" (@johnjoyce) on "4G LTE: One Standard To Rule Them All" video.
Far too USA centric. The mobile device makers and network equipment makers and software all happened far more internationally than just the USA

US carriers barely hold a candle to the data rates in many other countries. iPhone’s biggest carriers were in China before even officially being launched there. Japan’s major carriers went through an incredible price war until the Japanese government stepped in and made them compete for retention instead of constant race to the bottom pricing. Singapore carriers competed well through effective services bundling. In the end, mobile device makers paved over all the real deltas with further and further developed base band and antenna capabilities. These days only the spectrum and physical network topologies remain major barriers with the weaker US networks requiring different antenna tuning than most other markets.
