Verizon Wireless is proceeding with plans to commercially introduce voice over LTE (VoLTE) in 2014, said an executive with the carrier's parent company.

Verizon Wireless didn't make any big announcements at MWC but instead the company's key executives were at the show, quietly working behind the scenes on some important strategic issues, such as international roaming.

LAS VEGAS--Verizon Wireless said that almost 50 percent of its data load now travels over its LTE network. The figure is up significantly from October, when Verizon said that 35 percent of its data traffic moved over its LTE network.

A Verizon Wireless device with support for LTE in the 1700 MHz AWS band received approval from the FCC, perhaps presaging a larger wave of Verizon devices that can support the carrier's AWS spectrum licenses.
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson credits Apple's iPhone with making the operator realize it needed to change its network architecture and massively boost its spectrum holdings.
