AT&T at CES today announced that the company would be speeding up their LTE deployment, and will be launching their LTE network sometime in the second half of this year. According to an announcement at CES, AT&T says they'll be supporting roughly twenty LTE-capable devices before the end of the year. A <a href="http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=18885&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=31477&mapcode=consumer|financial">press release</a> offers only slightly more information, noting that they expect the LTE build to be completed by the end of 2013. The company also proclaimed that they've completed their HSPA+ "to virtually 100 percent of its mobile broadband network," so if you're still stuck in an EDGE-only market things likely won't be changing anytime soon. According to AT&T, "recent tax law incentives, along with other policy developments"  are what AT&T claims drove the company to speed up their LTE plans (not, say -- Verizon, T-Mobile and Clearwire/Sprint).
