LTE Will Drive a Majority of Verizon Wireless Data Traffic "Soon"

Verizon Wireless said that more than a third of its data traffic is already travelling on its Long Term Evolution 4G  network, and that within a few months, the majority of data traffic will be on that network.

It is taking only two years to reach that milestone, compared to the eight years it took 3G to account for the bulk of data traffic, Chief Technical Officer Nicola Palmer said. Verizon expects to have LTE running in 400 cities by the end of October 2012.
