When Will Sprint 4G LTE Come To Your City?
Many people have asked me when Sprint plans to rollout 4G LTE in the city they live. I have decided to put together a page with anticipated dates and places that will receive Sprint LTE. All information comes from the awesome people at S4Gru.
FIRST ROUND MARKETS (14):
First round markets have no preceding markets before them. NV OEM’s will mobilize in these markets and begin deployment. These markets will deploy slowly as there is a significant learning curve to Network Vision. Most first round markets started between December 2011 and March 2012.
