Verizon Details Thursday’s 4G LTE Rollout; Not As Much of a “Mess” As We Expected
Verizon yesterday tweeted about new markets for their 4G LTE network. They said that a “mess of new cities and towns” would be getting it which led us to believe that a large portion of the list of confirmed cities they afforded us a few months ago would be included. If you were hoping to see that list sooner rather than later, here it is (other surrounding towns and cities for respective markets are listed in quotes):
- Clarksville, TN – “Fort Campbell, St. Bethlehem & New Providence. Also Oak Grove & Hopkinsville, KY.”
- Cleveland, TN – “McDonald &Prospect areas.”
- Columbia, SC – “Lake Murray, Irmo, 7 Oaks, Oak Grove, W Columbia, Cayce & Gilbert”
- Lehigh Valley, PA – “Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and Lehigh Valley Airport”
- Hilton Head, SC – “Moss Creek, Bluffton & Jasper”
- Wilmington, NC – “Wrightsboro, Kirkland, Ogden & more”
Once you break it down like that, Verizon didn’t lie – that’s a long list of cities. It just doesn’t consist of the major cities we thought would get some 4G love. The rollout doesn’t stop here, of course, but Verizon’s not announcing any new expansions as part of Thursday’s party. [via @VerizonWireless]
