It’s seriously mind-blowing how far ahead Verizon is of the other US carriers in terms of LTE deployment. AT&T isn’t even in 50 markets yet with the technology, and Sprint is even further behind. And T-Mobile isn’t even thinking about LTE until 2013.
Well, at least you’ll know which carrier to go with when Apple releases its LTE iPhone.
