![4G Penetration In Select Countries, October 2014 [CHART]](https://trends.e-strategyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/183392.gif "Chart - 4G Penetration In Select Countries")
451 Research estimated in September 2014 that US 4G LTE mobile connections would rise nearly 30% from 152.3 million in 2014 to 197.4 million in 2015. By 2018, the firm expected that total to reach 272.4 million.
Mobile video streaming will benefit from this increased adoption, based on October 2014 research by the UK’s Office of Communications. Among US internet users polled, 50% of respondents who used 4G streamed or downloaded mobile video. In comparison, just 32% of non-4G users reported doing the same. This trend was consistent across the other countries studied—especially China and Australia. Read the rest at eMarketer.
