4G and LTE technologies are just around the corner. In mid-2011 (about six months earlier than the previous announcement), Verizon claims its LTE network will be ready and phones will start releasing with LTE technology built-in. This new, faster network will allow for faster download speeds and better reception around the country.
However this all comes with a price as Verizon hinting very strongly at eliminating all unlimited data plans and using a tiered system for this new techology. Carriers like Verizon will be looking to gain back all of the money that is currently funding the network and research overhaul. And it is going to show on our wireless bills.
Although this technology might be a great need for mobile networks, it will definitely come at cost out of the consumers pocket.
