The roll-out hasn ;t been officially announced, but rather spotted by Milan Milanovicas he wandered New York streets, who found LTE signals in the bandwidth where 3G would usually lurk. That signals what will no doubt be a a very gradual death of 3G, as we all increasingly carry phones of dealing with the faster wireless networks. While 80 percent of data traffic on Verizon network travels via LTE, at least 40 percent of its customers ha
