Verizon to Go "LTE-Only" for Smart Phones

Verizon Wireless will not sell any smart phones unless they run on its Long Term Evolution fourth generation network, starting in 2012, the company says.

Apparently, only about five percent of Verizon Wireless customers have opted to buy and use smart phones running on the LTE network, so far.
