... be in service somewhere here in the U.S. probably this time next year." Verizon Wireless will have to transition subscribers from its CDMA network to the newer LTE network, which will likely take years. In addition to the LTE network transition, Lynch also said that it will roll-out femtocells -- with Wi-Fi on board, too -- to boost in-building coverage. The combination of LTE, with femotcells and Wi-Fi will enable Verizon Wireless to deliver broadband to a wide range of devices. more info at Yahoo News / PC World ...
Dick Lynch: Verizon's LTE rollout to launch next year, not 2010
Engadget —
After winning purchasing spectrum in the 700MHz FCC auction, we were all a little disappointed to hear that we'd have to wait until the year 2010 for high-speed LTE networks to launch (widescale deployments coming later) on both Verizon and AT&T. In a surprise, seemingly off-the-cuff statement made Tuesday at Cisco's C-Scape conference, Verizon's unfortunately named executive VP and CTO, Dick Lynch, said, "We expect that LTE will actually be in service somewhere here in the U.S. probably this time next year." Lynch ...
Is Verizon Wireless nailing the coffin shut on WiMAX?
jkOnTheRun —
... Before you even continue on to the news bit, know that I'm agnostic when it comes to my wireless data. I frankly could care less whether I'm connected to the web via WiFi, WiMAX, EV-DO, or HSDPA. They all get me to the same place although some have cost and location advantages over others. But today's news out of Verizon Wireless via PC World underscores my low expectations for nationwide WiMAX here in the United States. The carrier had already planned to follow GSM-based competitor AT&T into the LTE pool for 4G services and now they're moving up their time-table. Verizon ...
Verizon Rolling Out Superfast LTE Mobile Broadband Next Freakin' Year [Lte]
Gizmodo —
Verizon is so super-serial about beating AT&T; in the race to deploy 4G LTE mobile broadband (wazzat?), CTO Dick Lynch said yesterday they'll start rolling it out next year, ahead of the original 2010 timeframe. The original timetable called for initial rollouts in 2010, with a wide commercial launch in 2011 and true mass availability in 2012. An IDC analyst says that Verizon's shift to a more aggressive schedule was likely sparked by Japan's NTT DoCoMo announcing last month they'd offer LTE service commercially in 2010, showing that "the race is ...

Verizon Hopes to Launch LTE this time Next Year
I4U News —
... missies their self-imposed deadline by mere weeks they are into 2010 as well. I am looking forward to LTE, though if wireless providers continue down the asinine path of offering insulting monthly bandwidth caps like the laughable 5MB a month some plans offer, LTE will be worthless to the majority of users. I hardly think anyone will be interested in paying a dollar per MB over the 5MB cap after downloading a single Microsoft Windows Update blows out their allowed monthly usage.
