But if you're working with sub-kilometer distances from towers, this isn't going to be home broadband replacement. Heck, AT&T could put VRADs near the towers and have VDSL speeds similar to what they're getting over LTE.

Then again, they'll proably not put enough bandwidth to the tower and thus the oh-so-fast LTE won't be able to live up to its full potential. I mean, technically their current HSPA service should be able to pump out 3.6/1.8 speeds. I've only seen about 1.5/500-700 when I've used it (not anymore...5 GB caps and no prepaid option).
Yep, they have to feed the towers enough bw to be sure. And of course who do they get that from? Most likely AT&T. It all comes back to ma bell sooner or later.

Interesting how the companies with the LTE plans are Bells (AT&T, VZ)...then Cox comes in with LTE. Rather odd, considering the rest of the cable industry is rooting for WiMAX w\Sprint & CLWR.
