At this point, LTE is nothing more than just a gimmick pushed more as a marketing tool rather than anything useful.
I put LTE in the same vein as "Retina" display gimmick created by Apple. I have an iPad 3 (I had 2 previously) and simply the difference between a 1500p to a 1080p is impossible to notice for human eyes in a screen as small as 9.7 inch, yet the majority buy into the gimmick.
In USA, both Verizon and AT&T have a quota of 5GB for $50 with LTE plans, which is unbelievably ridiculous considering the high speed of LTE, you could finish your bandwidth in matter of minutes.
If we're supposed to use LTE only for browsing and video, well, 3G has absolutely no issue with either of those, as I currently have uMobile's 3G and it does the job perfectly in those regards, so exactly, why would I need to change to LTE if the only thing I gain is worse battery life?

no offense ya bro, LTE is not a market gimmick if u have the bullet in your wallet! If u ever try Maxis DC-HSPA+ (42mbps theoretical) you will know the reason. I having unlimited Internet plan from maxis back in Malaysia, believe me you will feel good for downloading + streaming + browsing + gaming for more then 1.8mb/s ( not Mbps) where crappy tmnut still cannot fulfil. So I looking for at least 3.6mb/s when LTE launched in Malaysia. As for the stability issue, o well it's wireless tech, interference can happen so it's good to c at least in Malaysia the signal can be interfereced (show moderated power signal) better then we being microwaved by high power signal everyday right?As for others country ( why everyone take us as a standard?)with quota that a sad thing but here in uk most of the telco you can access to unlimited Internet for just 10pound a month! So I think Malaysia LTE will at least come with a quotaless option, but expect the bill will be rocket high.
FYI for the iPad retina part, I just thinking what you doing is just not capable of using such high resolution =], eg. I having all retina branded apple devices, mbpr 15", iPad 3rd gen, iPhone 5 etcs. I enjoy the color richness, crispyness and pixel perfect moment when I view my photographs but of coz I found Eizo Professional Series is even perfect for the job which cost you up to 10times what you can get from apples.
Just my 2cents... Cheers!
