T-Mobile Expands 4G Coverage to More Cities, LTE 2013
T-Mobile just added several more cities to their growing “4G” HSPA+ network, while also expanding their 42Mbps service to several more cities currently equipped with HSPA+ towers. Since the AT&T buyout was halted, LTE has been their next venture. T-Mobile recently announced their plan to pursuit expanding their data network, planning to launch LTE service in 2013. With no AT&T merger, T-Mobile has more AWS spectrum free to develop LTE and expand their HSPA+ further.
