AT&T, first carrier, to launch LTE-A in the US

XLTE is just Verizon marketing for places they can throw out LTE over AWS 20x20. Phones that can support this band are named XLTE equip. Really nothing special.

LTE-A if i'm correct is just software, however its still an adjustment that has to be made.

LTE-Advanced requires Release 10 equipment on the towers and a software upgrade, something of which only T-Mobile has fully implemented. :D

I'm around. Have been lurking for months. Just not wasting my time arguing the same crap over and over again.

More BS from you. How predictable...

All 4 carriers are using identical Rel. 10 compatible equipment. Only T-Mobile makes a big deal about it.

The AT&T Labs chief also said that AT&T's entire LTE network architecture is ready to be upgraded to LTE Advanced Release 10 and beyond via software patches.

And not to mention, AT&T LTE-A (more specifically, carrier aggregation) is already live in Chicago. Earlier than anyone else in the industry.
