(click map for full version view)

Earlier this month, on October 6th, 2010, Verizon announced their 4G LTE (4G Long Term Evolution) expansion plans. The announcement was made by Lowell McAdam, president and chief operating officer of Verizon, and it detailed how Verizon Wireless will launch in 38 major metropolitan areas, covering more than 110 million Americans, by the end of the 2010.

That’s a pretty aggressive expansion plan for Verizon’s 4G network and literally overnight, Sprint’s 4G coverage is up against serious competition.

In addition, the company is launching its 4G LTE in more than 60 commercial airports coast to coast – both the airports within the launch areas plus airports in other key cities.

** Only July 22nd, Verizon announced 37 more US cities and 11 more US airports – you can see these new 4G enabled locations at the bottom
