Operators worldwide are investing in LTE-Advanced systems and peak speeds are increasing. GSA's Evolution to LTE report published on 21 July 2015 confirmed that 131 operators i.e. over 30% of LTE operators, have launched, or are deploying or are trialling LTE-Advanced technologies in 60 countries. This figure includes 97 operators that have commercially launched LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation in 48 countries. This paper from GSA summarises the theoretical peak downlink speed for each of the commercially launched LTE-Advanced networks worldwide, according to research by GSA. Data is provided on networks deployments capable of supporting user devices…

LTE BROADCAST global status – summary of deployments, all activities worldwide
SNAPSHOT: LTE BROADCAST global status - summary of deployments, all activities worldwide October 21, 2015 - [398.9 KB] Recent months have witnessed a high level of activity in eMBMS/LTE Broadcast activities globally and traction is building across all regions. Several use cases are being developed and trialled, and more are emerging. The first LTE Broadcast service was commercially launched in January 2014 and the eMBMS-capable devices ecosystem is building, however more devices are needed. Several operators announced planned service launches in 2015. Download the list of all LTE Broadcast system investments (deployments, launches, trials, studies)…
Industry support for the APT700 band plan is strong. Whereas APT700 provides both FDD and TDD arrangements, it is the FDD plan that has gained global support from industry and regulators in markets addressing approaching 4 billion people. 42 countries have allocated, committed to, or recommend allocating APT700 FDD (band 28) spectrum for LTE deployments.
