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.
That suggests the next version of the Apple iPhone will run on the new LTE network. The LTE-only stance is part of an effort to get more customers loaded onto the LTE network.
Apparently, only about five percent of Verizon Wireless customers have opted to buy and use smart phones running on the LTE network, so far.
