Mobile telephony will soon be one data service
Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) transforms mobile calls into data packages and thereby reduces the network capacity necessary for the call. Further advantages of LTE technology include lower operating costs and new economies of scale. "On top of that, VoLTE can free up mobile telephony capacities formerly occupied by GSM or 3G for data services with higher margins," says Christian Niegel from Arthur D. Little. By 2019, Niegel expects 20-30% of all mobile customers in Europe to use VoLTE.
