Verizon CTO Says 4G Service Is On Track
Verizon has announced that it is on track to roll out their new 4G LTE service using the 700 MHz band that it acquired in the recent FCC auction. Targeted first towards USB air cards for laptop customers, the service will be extended to cell phones and other mobile devices with embedded LTE eventually. Testing in Boston and Seattle should conclude in the next couple of months and commercial deployments should follow soon thereafter. "Lynch said getting voice to work over LTE has been particularly challenging. But that challenge is getting resolved as Verizon and other members of the GSMA announced Monday they are supporting a standard that uses IMS technology to deliver voice services over LTE. Still, more work needs to be done. Until a solution is complete, Verizon will use its CDMA network to provide voice services. And the LTE network will be used for data. Eventually, when voice over LTE becomes a reality, Verizon will use that technology. Verizon will also have to integrate EV-DO into its LTE offering to ensure that customers can switch to the 3G EV-DO network when the 4G LTE network is not available. Even though Verizon is being aggressive in building its network, it won't happen overnight."
Like one of those evil characters that eat humans from some video game or movie?
Or better yet, some flesh eating parasite? Yeah! A flesh eating parasite would be a perfect story icon for a cell company! None of those old rotary phone, tower and motherboard.
So, everything is hunky-dory, going right according to plan.
But the phone company doesn't actually have any way of making the new technology make voice calls, so they'll be retaining the legacy CDMA technology. And, of course, they'll be building the intermediate legacy EV-DO technology for the forseeable future to deal with places where the new hotness is not actually available. Oh, and support for mobile devices is planned for "eventually"...
I wish my standards for success were this achievable.
Why not use VoIP for voice services? That's trivial over a data network.
My sister in law, a very attractive girl in college and unfortunatly, raised by nigger loving parents became close friends with a coalburner. Seeing no problem with this because her parents did her no favor by not educating her about the reality of real niggers, but how all niggers are magic niggers, this is what happened:
Coalburning friend asks her to take her and her buck nigger to a party because she had a car. So she actually gives this buck nigger a lift to the party. It's a college rager, everyone is drinking, her girlfriend leaves her to go smoke some black dick. She finds herself swarmed by a group of bucks totaly Muh Dikking her. One of them spikes her drink.
She wakes up in the morning on a mattress in the basement of a piss smelling apartment building. Her shoes, pants and underwear nowhere to be found. Her shirt is around her neck, her bra missing as well. No keys, cell, or purse either.
She felt somthing crusty all over her face along with a gagging awful slime in her mouth and throat. Her vagina and anus felt as if they were burning. She had been gang raped for what was later to be determined by at least 8 niggers for at least 2 hours, possibly longer.
She was able to pull her shirt down far enough to walk out to look for help. She saw a gas station 2 doors down but had to run behind the dumpster to throw up. She found her purse behind the dumpster, empty of course. She had a spare car key zipped into a purse pocket, she knew where she was and with a nasty discarded jacket she found behind the dumpster, she walked back to where the party was to get her car. It was gone, recovered a week later, tires smoked off, an empty chicken bucket in the backseat along with her jeans and underwear. They apparently used her car to drive her to the scene of the crime.
Back to the gas station to call her niggerloving dad. Suddenly, he wasn't the niggerlover he had been prior to his daughter sitting next to him with nigger jiz breath on the way to the hospital.
DNA was collected and she was given an abortion type pill to prevent her from having a zebra. No DNA matches because apparently the
criminals had never been caught by any enforcement agency yet.
Today, 10 years later, she has the worst type of STD known to man, it will never go away, but what does go away is any man who finds out she has an STD from a nigger gang bang. And if someday she finds a sympathetic man who isn't afraid to put his dick in her, he will also face the risk of catching a severe case of crank rot as well as any children she may have that will be infected.
Now, tell me how her niggerloving daddy did her any good preparing her for the real world. It was only one night but that one night ruined her for the rest of her life.
You could probably find daddy here on Chimpout today, but he paid a high price for addmission here, he paid it with one of his little girls.
Spread the word. Girls, stay away from niggers at all cost!
Damn it, I should have waited to buy my phone, instead of just buying it yesterday!
It is worth nothing that while LTE is still in development Sprint and Clearwire have already deployed 4G services that are operational and covering 30 million people in the US. Wimax is deployed in around 145 countries worldwide. Sprint will have a 4G device in 2Q or 3Q this year, and will likely have 120 million people covered by 4G before LTE is even deployed here.
Having worked on LTE and LTE Advanced these last two years of my university degree, I can't wait to see and use the actual network... Well, guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to see it in Europe...

After the stupid 4chan "DDoS" attack and filtering: Fuck Verizon. Right in the ass.
I live in Verizon ILECland and I plan on vandalizing as much of their infrastructure as I can until I get caught.
Fuck Verizon.
An obscure unpopular candybar-shaped brick, preferably with a non-standard keypad and an external antenna and a kick-ass field test app pre-installed. Kinda like the Nokia 6650, but with LTE. I'd cringe if the first production LTE phone was, for example an iPhone 4G or some Google Touchscreen phone that uses LTE to supply a continuous barrage of text based ads
Current 10 Mbit/s with 3G is enough for my mobile needs at least. Even 300 kbit/s is fine most of the time for some random maps and browsing. 4G is not going to compete with 100 Mbit/s home connections everyone has anyways.
Get with it. Here in Nebraska we already have 4-H
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
According to Wiki, 4G is packet based only. It's assumed that by the time 4G is rolled out, IP4 addresses will have been exhausted. So does that mean all new 4G phones will use IP6 by default? Sounds like a good idea to me. If your going to make a move to IP6, handheld devices are the perfect place to start rolling out the new IP standard.
Life is not for the lazy.
Actually calls will probably sound better over LTE.
Until you call someone on a different network, such as the landline network, at which point the voice quality goes back to narrowband.
also the sky is blue and water is wet
No. I don't think so. I can't afford Verizon any more so this spring I close the account and smash the phones to move to another carrier. The phones are junk and the plan costs too much. I'll get new phones if or when I choose a replacement carrier.

Water is wet, which is important for someone who goes boating. Likewise, calls routed through the PSTN are narrowband, which is important for someone who calls mostly customers on another network.
