In the case of LTE, at least the newer devices can support more bands, reducing the need for different hardware to be supplied to different countries. My phone, for example, supports six LTE bands.
Isn't that counterbalanced by LTE *running* on far more frequencies, around the world?
Yes, but apparently the number of bands that can be supported by a single device is expected to increase also. Manufacturers are having to compensate for the unavailability of common spectrum for use by LTE networks.
