I wonder if its one of those things that will work via LTE, but they don't
want to advertise it since it won't when the phones fall back to EVDO. We'll
probably have to wait and see until people can get iPhone 5 devices out in
the real world for testing, though Verizon LTE Android phones might give us
some idea of the network's capabilities.
iPhone 5 is mostly an academic exercise for me though since I'm still on a
contract for another year with the 4S. If I don't upgrade when my contract
is up, I'd be tempted to finally dump AT&T (though I'd lose my grandfathered
"unlimited" data plan from the 3GS), and put in a Straight Talk SIM card.
