I hate the we don't need it argument. We also don't really need cars with over 100hp to get to and from places, but we do. You also don't "need" a smartphone. Why not go back to an old dumb phone that gets 3x the battery life?

HSPA+ is att 3g no matter how much that want to call it 4g its 3g. And i range from 4 to 7 out here in the IE.
I understand your "Dont need" hate, so let me put it this way. What can you do with LTE that makes your phone so much better?
Beside from tether to a laptop I can't see a good reason for it. You don't need it for streaming video, 3g can stream 720p (highest phone res as of right now.) or playing games or surfing the web.
I also feel that most people don't need more then 10Mbit connection at home. An i'm a network guy and love having access to 10Gbit pipes but i can do everything i want to do from a 10Mbit pipe
