| 700Mhz will go to LTE most likely
It makes sense from a deployment stance that this new spectrum will allow a quick transition to LTE when the carrier is able to begin use of the spectrum. This eliminates the need of eeking out a carrier on a tower and adding LTE on that band. In this case they just install the new radios and put up new antennas.
So yes they will be able to limit who's using the 700mhz by a technological barrier. VZW devices will be able to use these first and anything else will either trickle in later or VZ will go to the FCC saying there's no interest in a attempt to get the open access rules dropped.
