It could be even worse than that, from a consumer
perspective. They've talked about using LTE as a tool to moving all
of their data plans onto measured or, more commonly, block-of-bits
plans. The current new plans are an initial bid. LTE probably won't
have flat rate anything. Hence it won't be a good substitute for a
fixed wireless or wireline service, except for light users or those
with very deep pockets... For nomadic and mobile applications, it
should be really nice, but I wouldn't want to run Microsoft Update over it!
Hence it is more complementary than competitive to most WISPs.

The concern I have is in my coverage area Verizon already has 6
towers. I doubt they would be to worried about working with
me. What I see is that I have 2 years to upgrade my equipment to be
able to beat Verizon at all levels. TVWS could be a real game
changer to us being so wooded. 700 Mhz LTE will already have the advantage.
