AT&T hopes to cover 200 million+ subscribers with LTE by the end of 2013.
On a related note, the company activated 4.8 million iPhones in the first quarter of this year versus four million and 1.5 million iPhones for Verizon and Sprint, respectively.
It will also offer HD Voice later this year, which the iPhone 5 supports out of the box.

Although Verizon bests AT&T in terms of LTE coverage, Consumer Reports and Rootmetrics both ranked AT&T’s LTE as the nation’s fastest and most reliable.
