I just have a question, will verizon's LTE network use sim cards, i really like the network, but i also travel back home every year, and where i am from all the networks use sim cards and i'd rather not buy a new phone all the time....Thanks, and i am sorry if this is not relevant to this discussion.
Maybe, maybe not Verizon could go the route of using sim cards but dont have to. Or they could go the route of some prepaid phone companies and solder the simcard to the phone making it impossible to remove.
Actually, I will wager that the majority of devices offered by that time will utilize CSIM's. The network should be ready by the EOY. It's just a matter of device manufactures implementing the tech.

It should eventually use sim cards, but the first round of devices will likely be CDMA voice (no sim card) and LTE data (sim card).
