More on the cost of adding LTE to a mobile phone handset. It’s not “just” $39.75. Add at least $10 for the bigger battery.
Here’s a follow-up to my blog post on the IHS report on the cost of adding LTE to a mobile phone handset. (See “What’s the current cost of adding LTE to a mobile phone? $39.75 says an IHS report.”) I … Continue reading
