Re: LTE?
said by PastTense5  :said by mindfrost82 :I hope you're being sarcastic Well I for one don't understand what LTE is going to be under the carriers: Is it going to be a third pipe? An alternative to the cable/telcom duopoly providing broadband now? Or it is going to be a faster EVDO--with little more than the current 5GB monthly limits? kinda. Except that EVDO is CDMA, while LTE is GSM.
As for the caps, that depends on your provider, and tethering. Chances are, if Sprint and TMO want to compete with hardwire broadband incumbents, they'll be competitive with DSL and Cable internet alternatives, and they'll undercut wifi alternatives. And ATT and VZ could expand their current hardwire DSL/fiber offerings with LTE for rural and suburban areas.
