All users need to do is sign a new 4G handset contract. Given the very low price of new handsets, who really care about 2G/3G? All users need to do is sign a new 4G handset contract.

The real challenge isn't about theoritical download speeds, it is about service continuity and seamless mobility in a world where LTE islands will be surrounded by 3G coverage. Users will have several devices, some LTE, some 3G, some both, and will expect a coherent service. Back in 2000, the same vendors were arguing about their '3G speed', and they were completely missing the point. 3G-2G service continuity remained one of the key challenges. frederic@blueslice.com Quite pathetic to see the ‘big vendors’ argue on “my LTE is faster than yours”.
