Why upgrading to LTE is important for carriers and consumers

March 7th, 2012

The great migration has begun. It began in late 2010, when two US wireless carriers, Verizon and MetroPCS, launched LTE networks. In the year that followed both companies expanded. Essentially everyone else has followed suit. Bell, Rogers, and Telus now have 4G LTE networks that will continue to expand until they cover most of the country. Soon enough, these carriers will cease offering their 3G products (and even their 2G products), instead featuring a full array of 4G devices. And everyone will benefit.

While 4G LTE services are heralded for their lightning fast speeds, there’s more to it than that. Yes, speed is an LTE network’s primary virtue, but it’s not all about how fast you can buffer a streaming movie. No, speed in this instance leads to something greater.
