It looks like 2013 will be dominated by wifi, more below.

Home broadband via ADSL and cable will remain the top mode of access next year.

Out and about 4g will actually trump wifi hotspots because it'll cover a large number of people despite it being restricted to city areas.

Its only the LTE version of 4g next year btw, 2014-2015 will see the real 700+Mbit big daddy 4g.
Its at that point when we approach gigabit bandwidth everywhere and ipv6 end devices that we will see proper ubiquitous computing emerge with cloud everything. End user devices will become less relevant as far as cpu or graphics card goes.

As far as I know 4g antennas are just attached to the current 3g towers so there shouldn't be anything going on lamposts.

4g is more prevalent outside the UK btw, you might be surprised at the places that have it already.



The red countries have the 4g LTE.

Its important to bear in mind that this 'LTE' is nothing like what 4g actually is so its a bit of a red herring to call it '4g'.
