Tomorrow, December 1, Verizon will hold a press release about their LTE network.  I look forward to the day when there is one true global standard for mobile communications.  I’m sure dreams of seeing GSM as a national standard (over CDMA) will meet the same fate as using the metric system but this is a step in the right direction.  Now, if we can only set pre-loading restrictions on the network providers… wouldn’t it be great if every handheld device were free of “value added” junkware?
