Internet delivered through fixed wireless access (FWA) may account for a majority of traffic on the nation's biggest mobile networks, but analysts say revenue from these subscriptions makes up a tiny percentage of revenues. FWA makes up around 6% of revenues at T-Mobile and around 3% of revenues at Verizon, according to the new report from the analysts at MoffettNathanson Research. Nevertheless, FWA may use more than half of all traffic on the Verizon network and more than two-thirds of traffic on the T-Mobile network (including traffic from mobile virtual network operators).

"The economics of FWA are highly attractive for national wireless carriers. It lets them better monetize excess capacity on their mobile networks, especially in rural and suburban markets."
