Interestingly, AT&T Mobility’s (NYSE:T) recently announced an LTE-capable USB stick (also made by LG) that will not work on Verizon’s LTE network, even though both carriers plan to deploy LTE on the 700 MHz band. Verizon acquired most of the 700 MHz C Block spectrum (which lies in band class 13) in 2008, while many of AT&T’s 700 MHz licenses sit in the lower C and B Blocks (which lie in band class 17). Thus, to reliably roam from AT&T’s LTE network to Verizon’s, device makers will first have to build LTE devices that support band classes 13 and 17. AT&T and Verizon also would have to ink an LTE roaming agreement.

Both AT&T and Verizon are pursuing a balkanization strategy for 4G devices. They can both make do without device interoperability and roaming, but what about smaller carriers? Rumor Mill: Verizon preps LG, Pantech LTE dongles - FierceWireless (via publicknowledge) |
We all agree that media companies should compete for our attention. But they shouldn’t use our attention to force us to use their preferred Internet provider.
Internet service providers should compete on the basis of the quality and speed of the service, not access to sites. Content producers are free to charge for access, but they shouldn’t block your ISP to favor other ISPs.
If they can block certain sites on a whim, what is to stop them from blocking access to your cloud storage provider? Or your photo site?
Pseudo-libertarians ignore corporate threats to our liberties. They decry “government control” as if setting rules for corporate conduct is “control.” Does the referee “control” a football game?
