I'm not a business user.
Just a serious PC user.
I suspect that LTE support may come by release time.
But it doesn't have to. Not from Microsoft.
Remember, the MS Surfaces won't be the only Win8 and RT tablet products out there; they explicitly said that OEM partners would have feature and price parity with the MS-branded versions.
These are basically reference designs/flagships for the Windows Tablet space.
MS is challenging the OEMs to be better and, in effect, saying they're not going to concede the Tablet market to Apple or Google just to coddle them. So they're leaving room for their partners but those partners are going to have to step up and be better and/or cheaper.
