AT&T Announces LTE in Five Markets By This Summer

AT&T has announced that LTE will arrive to five markets this summer and to ten more in the second half of the year.

The next network evolution will arrive this summer with the addition of LTE in five markets – Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta and San Antonio. We plan to add another 10 or more markets in the second half of the year, and cover 70 million Americans with LTE by year-end.
