In USA, Verizon has implemented pretty good LTE coverage in major cities. For their standard cell data plans, they do not charge a different rate for 3G and 4G LTE. Unfortunately, they do try to charge 30$ / month for each device plus an

Yes, I agree, it's a very interesting concept. I wonder how their app will look and behave. Sounds kind of like imdb or freebase, but maybe with a different ui, or a new set of views into that sort of data.
