– Over 80% of U.S. mobile subscriptions will be 4G LTE by 2018.

Wearables:
– 5% of U.S. broadband households use a smart watch.
– Global revenues from connected fitness trackers will increase from over $2 billion in 2014 to $5.4 billion by 2019.
 
Mobile apps:
– Roughly one-fifth of smartphone and tablet owners use a health app on a monthly basis.
– 19% of smartphone owners find a master health app that aggregates data from all health apps very appealing.
