VZW has been getting ready for LTE for sometime now. a hefty percentage of their cell sites already have at least a t3….via fiber. this also is in part to cut out the local telco cost for (slow & costly) T1′s.

Many things affect transfer rate beyond simple radio capability—one major element being distance from the base station. The physics of radio cannot be avoided. Longer ranges result in lower bandwidth delivered. Also, the spectrum channel size (1.e. 20 MHz or other) that regulation defines as appropriate for different frequency bands will dictate bandwidth capabilities at least to some extent. Also, remember that the RF and physical environment play a strong role in throughput results. Essentially, the real world blunts theoretical performance.The physics of frequency range plays a powerful role in bandwidth capability. The higher the frequency, the greater the bandwidth delivery potential and the shorter range potential. Lower frequencies enjoy much greater range capability, but trade that off with much lower bandwidth potential.

[...] Stacey Higginbotham | Tuesday, January 27, 2009 | 11:00 AM PT | 0 comments On its earnings conference call today, Verizon says it still hopes to have LTE commercially available by the first half of 2010. Verizon President and COO Denny Strigl gave the time frame, and didn’t indicate that the four-month delay in accessing the 700 MHz spectrum occupied by analog television signals would cause the carrier problems. In December, Verizon said it would speed up its LTE launch and start testing its fourth-generation wireless broadband network later this year. [...]

Dejan,

Not sure what physics you’re talking about, but in this universe all frequencies (from radio to visible light to gamma rays) travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles/second through a vacuum).

The frequency being used does not dictate the speed of the connection.
