The idea with LTE is that you create a single high performance data network. Then the carrier has the option of either use a separate voice network like Verizon is doing now with 1x (voice) and EV-DO (data). Or they can implement some sort of VOIP solution and just send voice over the data network. You would think maintaining a single data network would be the easier option vs. two separate networks. I've always wondered if the average non-techie Verizon user even understands what the 2 signal meters on their phones are for since Verizon labels then 1x and Ev.

It took me a year or two to even notice and that's just because I'm in the industry that I'd care.
