Re: Kudos to Verizon Betcha LTE will have a 10-20GB cap with $1-$5 per GB overages. That said, I'm betting that an unlimited option will be available for those who can afford it (we're looking at $70 per month or so). I'd agree. Look what satellite gets away with charging to the captive audience they serve-- and for service with caps in the MEGABYTES -- that's frequently unreliable. I imagine these "places where 3G isn't available" are the markets Verizon wants to nab from satellite vendors. |

| I'd beg to differ. The "places 3G isn't available" are probably areas where the same towers can go farther due to use of 700MHz instead of 850MHz or 1900MHz on EvDO. Verizon uses a lot of 1900 for EvDO, so the coverage increase just due to lower frequency could be quite dramatic. |

| Well, keep in mind Verizon's working with a new FCC rule that expedites tower builds, and gives municipalities a month to respond to tower build requests...I imagine they really do believe that LTE is the wholesale answer to rural America. Whether this works in real world application, we'll see. |
