4G LTE is all the rage, but despite its universal appeal, it's not exactly the same tech depending on where you live. Two varieties exist: TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE. Why can't it be both? This week, China Mobile demonstrated that interoperable LTE is possible. This isn't just a vote for technology partner Huawei, but a peek into the future. Which MNO delivers the best customer experience in Japan? One might expect SoftBank or NTT DOCOM to wear the crown, but the latest research from J.D. Power places au at the top for the second consecutive year. Another interesting finding from the study: subscribers in Japan are much more likely to use voice services from their service provider than free VoIP options based on quality of service. In other news, Orange is backing out of the Dominican Republic, Deutshe Telekom partnered with itsa International on smart utilities, and Amdocs was named the leader of the telecom testing software market by two analyst firms.
