why does it need an LTE connection?

Use an LTE connection -- pay for data fees. I can see why they'd want this. That said, the article only talks about data storage across WiFi. I assume the drive will connect to Verizon and allow for the movement of data across the LTE network, but the article doesn't actually say that anywhere (again, it only talks about data storage across WiFI). Regardless, there's no way I'm storing data over an LTE connection since you'd presumably get hit multiple times for data usage (data off the drive, data onto the phone, etc.).

I hope the file interface is a lot better than the Seagate Goflex Satellite drive.
