LTE challenges
Unclear business model Policy management & charging challenges Unclear when full LTE coverage might be achieved Too many spectrum bands 2600, 2300, 2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 900, 800, 700, TDD/FDD Increases component size, cost & power needs Some auctions delayed anyway Indoor coverage poor at >2GHz Roaming nightmare (but does it matter?) Voice and SMS uncertainties Massmarket handsets a long way off

2011-2012
Some trials. Many problems found Few rollouts. Likely not good user experience Unlikely to be used, maybe OTT Used on laptops & tablets. Some smartphone use A few renegade operators Use for SVLTE in CDMA 1x + LTE
2013-2014
Patchy rollout, more in 700-900MHz networks May be fixed, but not likely May come back if other solutions as bad as feared Common on LTE wholesale networks Depends on Skype, Google etc Replacement for CSFB in 3GPP?
2015 onwards
Slow growth but not universal. Used for roaming Fades out as mainstream option Good option for those with long CS legacy ahead May be 2nd voice service along with operators own Important in specific pockets but not universal Probably superseded
Notes
If it works, OK for basic telephony, not for Voice 2.0 Political choice by GSMA / 3GPP Could be revisited by 3GPP under another name Some operators will take fixed bband approach Could be provided from other telco as wholesale Battery impact but better overall QoE
