AT&T has just inked deals with Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson, who supply AT&T's 3G equipment, solidifying 2011 as the year of 4G.
AT&T's "field trials" of LTE are promised for later this year—a soft launch that will most likely resemble AT&T's rollout of 7.2Mbps technology (http://gizmodo.com/5295789/giz-explains-what-atts-72mbps-network-really-means)—with commercial deployment slated for 2011.
Promising transfer rates of 140-300Mbps, LTE can't come soon enough. Of course, a skeptic might temper their expectations for any grand future of AT&T when the present ain't so hot to begin with. Was that a downer? I'm sorry. That was a downer. [AT&T (http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=30493)]
