Kind of surprising that US carriers are ahead of the curve for LTE deployment. It was the other way around for GPRS and 3G, I believe.

Of course I think the spectrum auctions in Europe about 10 years back cost carriers way more money than the auctions in the US. But those were only for 3G.

In the US, T-Mobile is also calling their HSPA+ network "4G" too in advertising.
