I live in Colombia, here 4G is brand new, and my carrier already offers this technology, although they're telling me that I can't use 4G on my iPhone 5 because Apple needs to make an upgrade of the software. Is this true?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2
The countries in which LTE is supported on the iPhone are listed here:

LTE is supported with Tigo for the iPhone 5C and 5S, but not the iPhone 5. So you would need a new iPhone to use LTE with Tigo. Whether support for LTE with other Colombian carriers will also require new hardware or only a software update will depend on the frequencies and bands your cell carrier is using.
Regards.

I'm in other carrier named Movistar. So the responsibility of updating for 4G is Apple's? Because I've been waiting for that since December 20.
It could be Apple's or it could the carriers, or both. It depends on whether the existing iPhone hardware will support the LTE frequencies and bands Movistar uses. If it does, then it would be an issue of negotation between Apple and Movistar to enable LTE support. If Movistar uses different bands/frequencies for LTE, then Apple would need to release a different model of iPhone.
