With CDMA providers going LTE, SIM cards will be much more common and this is good for the consumer.

Adi As was pointed out to me a week or so ago, LTE is a data-only std(unless the 4 major wireless carriers can soon agree on a voice over LTE std). Given that fact, there would still be separate phones needed for different carriers. Without some regulation DECREEING some interoperability std from the FCC, we will not reach the nirvana of picking a phone and then a carrier - at least not because of the migration to LTE.
