in 2010??? v2/v3 sims were already popular in 2008, and its impossible to clone those (extract ki and imsi) unless sims in brazil were that outdated/insecure at the time
It's not impossible, large carriers are still using DES to sign the OTA updates. Using rainbow tables you can crack the key and install an app which can break out of the sandbox and read the ki and IMSI.
That flaw was discovered in 2013.

Given that people typically get a "free" phone every two years, I'd imagine that most people in the US have LTE phones by now.
Well, most people out of the 56% that actually own a smart phone: http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/06/05/smartphone-ownership-2...
Is LTE only used for data, or is it also used for normal voice calls?
