Re: Short runway Not so simple. Isn't Verizon also going to LTE? if that's the case, you don't want to have them on your network first or using phones that are faster than your own.
1. No one in the USA at least has a LTE phone, and won't for 2-3 years.
2. Metro areas are dying for faster speeds NOW with existing 3G phones which may relieve congestion. Back hauling will be cheaper since there is higher density, and towers could be visited twice quickly. Fix the metro areas so that you keep your millions of iPhone customers who are your bread and butter accounts with the $30/mo data plans +$50 phone plan and make them happy- there are lots of phones with better than 1.5mbs 3G already in use. If you want to keep them once someone else sells something as compelling as iPhones. (I don't have a iPhone, but I get almost a mb on my att phone tethered.)
3. Less populous areas never got 3G in the firs place and certainly don't have LTE phones but may have 3G phones. Maybe rolling LTE out there first would be beneficial since they will be 'ready' when LTE is available and you'll have much better coverage in the end.
