Why do you ask?
Active frequency jamming is illegal in the United States and many other countries.
Also, the 700MHz spectrum in the United States is reserved for emergency and public safety communications. If you have equipment operating in this frequency range, you may interfere with communications directly related to life safety and the FCC will want to talk to you (and give you some large fines).
As has been stated, using a cell phone jammer is illegal and could land you on the receiving end of a six figure fine from the FCC.

So could using all 24 of my illegal microphones...
For radio communications, it is illegal to operate, manufacture, import, or offer for sale, including advertising (Communications Act of 1934).[8] Blocking radio communications in public can carry fines of up to $11,000 or imprisonment of up to one year.[9] The Homeland Security Act of 2002 may override the Communications Act of 1934.[10]

My understanding is that Verizon has been testing their LTE service in some metro areas and currently plans to have it up and running in 38 metro areas by the end of the year, which is not far off. Most of the initial LTE use and devices will probably be for wireless computing, LTE phones seem more likely to hit next year but who knows for sure.Now, no cell phones are currently operating in the 700 MHz band (at least, at the moment). Verizon may light some LTE phones up by the end of the year though.
Yes, they have been testing it--I suppose my point was that it's not available for consumers. Yet.
LTE is the technology Verizon and AT&T will eventually transition to--they'll call it 4G when they roll it out. (Technically speaking, though, LTE won't be 4G until IMT-Advanced is adopted...). In the US, it will start off in the 700 MHz band that we gave up a few years ago.
I thought Sprint already had a 4G system?
