That may very well be so, but I still think this is at best a funny way 
to disable LTE (or any other RAT for that matter). I should come right 
out and say that I am far from an expert on how the radio stack operates, 
but I suspect that by doing what you propose, the radio will have to do 
periodical "measurements" to see if the chosen frequency band has become 
available, and this could result in some extra power consumption.

Of course you are right; it definitely depends on the modem and what AT 
commands are supported. What I meant (but did not write) was that there 
are no standard AT commands (i.e. from 3GPP TS 27.007) for this.
