LTE is a pure data network, which describes a hardware protocol, not the data being used to transmit it. Voice isn't explicitly integrated into the protocol like it was in "pre-4G" protocols where data was piggybacking on a protocol designed primarily for voice. It's the reverse.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
They didn't standardize a way for VOICE to work? Seriously? What idiots are in charge of this?

Yes, they did. The LTE standard for voice is the IP Multimedia Subsystem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Multimedia_Subsystem
I have absolutely no clue why anyone would claim voice over LTE doesn't have a bona-fide ETSI standard.
