The Sprint network grows.
And that’s generally not a bad thing.
Per iMore, wireless carrier Sprint has announced a major expansion of its LTE rollout, adding coverage to 22 more cities today, bringing the number of markets with access to Sprint’s high-speed network up to 110. The new cities are as follows according to the company’s press release:
– Baton Rouge, La.
– Centralia, Wash.
– Clarksville, Tenn.
– Corsicana, Texas
– Dalton, Ga.
– Dunn, N.C.
– Fond du Lac, Wis.
– Gainesville, Fla.
– Henderson, N.C.
– Kingsport, Tenn.
– Lansing/East Lansing, Mich.
– Longview, Wash.
– Miami, Fl.
– Napa, Calif.
– New Orleans, La.
– Palatka, Fla.
– Raleigh, N.C.
– Sebring, Fla.
– St. Cloud, Minn.
– St. Joseph/Benton Harbor, Mich.
– Tampa, Fla.
– Warsaw, Ind.
An additional 13 cities, including Ann Arbor, Laredo, and Corpus Christi, are scheduled to receive coverage “in the coming months”. Sprint stated that their LTE network would be available to 200 million people by the end of 2013, a number mostly theoretical, as many of them would undoubtedly be customers of Sprints competition. The expansion shows that Sprint is serious about their LTE rollout, no matter who may buy the company.
