I expected a lot more interoperability between LTE devices and networks, something more akin to WiFi. Is there even a good technical reason why an LTE phone that supports AT&T's two channels cannot also support Verizon's five?
- omarqazi 14y agoYes, the networks use different frequency bands. Ostensibly, nobody has yet developed a chip that works on both LTE bands. The iPhone 4S shipped with a chipset that worked with both Verizon and AT&T's 3G bands, so I'm sure somebody is working on the same for LTE. This is just an effect of the technology being newer.
