Sprint Promises 'Aggressive LTE Roll-Out' in 2012
NOT All LTE Networks will be equal
Expect Sprint's LTE devices to be more expensive because of the need for Dual Band 1600/1900 Mhz operating frequencies and their in-building LTE signal penetration will weaker than that of VZW (700 Mhz) and AT&T (760 MHZishhh & TMobile 1700Mhz)
VZW's coast to coast one band frequency at 700Mhz license band pays!!

Except I'm like 90% sure sprint LTE will roll down to 800mhz also. I could be wrong but I think it will.

First, LightSquared may be a non issue; Ancillary Terrestrial Component use of its L band spectrum may never come to fruition.
Second, the marginal cost of adding a second or third LTE band class to devices is nearly negligible, especially if the operating band(s) already coincide with included multi band support for CDMA, GSM, W-CDMA, etc.
Third, every major carrier will require dual band LTE sooner rather than later. VZW LTE cannot live forever off of only the Upper 700 MHz C block 22 MHz bandwidth.
