LTE is expected to be the next generation mobile broadband technology for the 3GPP and 3GPP2 community from about 2010 onwards. As service providers expand their LTE coverage and the subscriber base migrates,it is feasible to consider repositioning the EDGE/HSxPA and CDMA/EV-DO assets as necessary. Existing 2Gand 3G spectrum can gradually be re-farmed to LTE, providing a means to efficiently and cost effectively assimilate the ever increasing demand for both voice and data traffic.Nokia has committed to LTE as its preferred network for devices, and plans to launch devices for those networks in 2010. They would be data intensive. The recent increase of mobile data usage and emergence of new applications such as MMOG (MultimediaOnline Gaming), mobile TV, Web 2.0, streaming contents have motivated the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to work on the Long-Term Evolution (LTE). LTE is the latest standard in the mobile network technology tree that previously realized the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA networktechnologies that now account for over 85% of all mobile subscribers. LTE will ensure 3GPP’s competitive edge over other cellular technologies.

    Changing technologies isn't as difficult as some make it out to be.

    It is possibly cost expensive as you have to swap out software and some equipment...

    But the hard work is done once the towers are in - now it is just changing the head repeater - and software - which all of us do yearly or so with Windows...

    The massive cost in the cellular industry was already eaten and paid for when laying and setting the towers and the repeaters.

    After that it iis just integrating changes and pieces a little at a time.

    Costs on cellular phones should have diminished to less than home phones - and long distance should be almost non-existent.
