I’ve just read from PC World that Verizon, with its big subscriber base, has tested its LTE (Long Term Evolution) / 4G network in Boston and Seattle. Looks like carriers are already looking into the 4th generation mobile technology these days. This is actually happening while AT&T is trying to cope up with it’s 3G bandwidth woes with Apple users.

Just imagine I will be able to watch movies, television, surf the web, do email, make voice calls, update my blog a whole lot of other stuff using a computer that I can put in my pocket!
