The much higher data rates available to consumers in LTE can bring a change in the way these devices are used today. Imagine the possibility of carrying a high speed 'access-point' like your home cable modem/wireless router anywhere with you! But the benefits of LTE are not just about higher...

The maximum bitrates for LTE are going to be in the range of several 100 Mbps, that is a factor of 100 greater than what can be done today with the previous generation of cellular wireless systems. The realistic bit rates will depend on many factors such as the number of users in a cell, and the radio...

LTE has the potential to completely reshape the wireless mobile landscape. LTE is the enabler for future services that have not been dreamed up yet!
In principle everything that a 3G phone can do today can be done with an LTE handset but at a much higher bitrate. One difficulty with existing 3G networks is the limitation in mobile to network data rates (the uplink). Uplink in LTE will be at least as fast as the downlink (network to mobile) is today...

Yes , you most definitely will be able to do that. It is inconceivable that carriers will entirely dismantle 2G/3G networks in the near future. Depending on the subscription plan, the carrier can still offer basic services which can be used with an LTE SIM card in an older type of phone.

Not necessarily. The nominal output power of an LTE base station is equal to the existing 2G/3G versions. The amount of received power depends very strongly on the distance between your location and the site. FCC has stringent requirements about the maximum output power on devices and base stations.
