We know several Verizon customers are patiently waiting, and some not so patiently for LTE to be turned on in their area. It’s coming, just hang on to your seats. It has just been confirmed that by the end of 2011, we should see at least 140 markets be blanketed with LTE coverage, and by 2013, Verizon is aiming to have at least 2/3 of the country covered.
I’m sure several Sprint or AT&T customers will have something to say about it but hey, at least Big Red is finally making the move right? What do you think about their launch? Let us know your thoughts!
