      According to Anne Lutz Fernandez, author of the book “Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile and Its Effect on Our Lives”, Americans spend an average of 18.5 hours a week in their cars.  An increasingly more mobile society with a seemingly insatiable appetite for personal vehicles means that not only are Americans spending more time in their vehicles, for business, commuting or pleasure but it also means that there is a growing number of vehicles vying for a spot on America's ever more congested roadways.

      With so many Americans in cars, for longer periods of time, and with 88 percent of all US adults owning a mobile phone, an opportunity for the 4G mobile broadband ecosystem is clearly on the horizon.  Globally, GSMA estimates that the opportunity associated with connected car applications will grow to $600 million (USD) by 2020.  And recent announcements by Verizon reflect how the opportunity can bridge across operator enterprise and wireless business units.
