Verizon to Launch LTE in ‘30 NFL Cities’ by End of 2010 Thursday, September 16, 2010

While speaking at a gathering of IT executives, Bernie McMonagle, a Verizon senior federal sales executive, said that Verizon Wireless plans to launch its Long Term Evolution 4G network in 30 “National Football League Cities” by the end of 2010. McMonagle didn’t specify which cities, but said they will all be major markets across the U.S. Verizon will expand its LTE network to cover the entire country by 2013. This is in line with what Verizon Wireless has previously committed to with respect to its LTE launch. McMonagle said that, similar to its initial 3G roll-out, wireless laptop dongles will be the first devices capable of accessing and using the LTE network. LTE-equipped phones will not follow for some time, said McMonagle, because there are no phones that use the 700MHz spectrum on which Verizon will operate its LTE network.
