Ok I know this is probably old news to some but I was unsure as to what exactly LTE/4G service would really be. So I did some digging...
Got a lot of technical jargon for the most part but I wanted something in layman's terms that I could really sink my teeth into. Then I found this Motorola PDF. It kinda made the Geek in me tingle a little.

Page 5 and 6 are paticularly interesting if you want to know what this means for the end user, but these two got me a lil happy :
Service Evolution
With LTE the end-user should experience performance comparable to today’s wired broadband internet services,
but with the added value that mobility brings. Today’s services delivered by HSxPA or EV-DO can be
delivered faster and better, improving the quality of service experience. For example, deployment of wideband
codecs and higher resolution video conferencing for the mass market will be much more feasible and widespread.
In addition, the high bandwidth and low latency will drive the development and uptake of real-time
services with added mobility yet to be conceived.
Seamless mobility experience
Thanks to LTE’s access agnostic core and centralised application layer, service providers will have the ability
to offer full seamless mobility services. This will allow their subscribers to remain connected via any access
technology (WiFi, WiMAX, xDSL, FTTx) wherever they are, ensuring that their applications, contents, streams
will follow them through their journey whatever device (laptop, mobile, tablet PC, TV, etc…) they feel is the
most appropriate to use at any given time.
So am I reading this right? Does this mean it will basicly be universal WiFi??? Even if it isn't this gets me giddy just thinking about the next two years!!
Kinda funny that VZW plans to emplement this starting Next Year and that JesusPhone carier can't even get it's 3G more wide spread and doesn't plan on expanding to 4G till 2011!!!!!
So what are yall's takes on this???
