LTE

Consumer technology and competing companies have a way of doing leapfrog. Company A deploys their widget, then company B deploys theirs in response to company A. The interesting thing is company B's deployment is a couple years behind but its two years newer based on what the vendors had available at the time. So what you have here is company B's deployment being superior but lagging in completion.

What part of AT&T's (Company B) LTE deployment is superior?

Verizon's entire 3G footprint will become 4G LTE by the end of 2013.

Will AT&T match that? Doubtful. Very doubtful.

They'll keep shilling HSPA+ as 4G.

Apparently in-city coverage in a couple of the deployments is better on AT&T, but it's not a big lead.

Really? Which ones?

Somebody on Hofo claims that to be the case either in NM or AZ, I forget which. Apparently their city just doesn't have good Verizon tower siting in the first place, while AT&T is better. More foundational than LTE per se.
