I am not so sure that I have faith in this announcement any longer... I live in Albany NY and sp/w a regional/district manager for Sprint and there is not going to be LTE in this market until sometime 2014. That will mean that anybody who has a LTE phone will pay a premium data upgrade of $240 per phone since 2012 until they can get premium data!!!! I have 4 phones on my account, 3 S3's and one Iphone 5. that means I will have to pay almost a $1000 in premium data charges before i even get access to LTE!! ALLS I CAN SAY IS HORRIFIC!!!!
And as for this announcement about LTE "Coming Soon" what a joke!! it's just a ploy to dangle the carrot and keep sprint customers upgrading their phones. I am a sprint customer for 10 years +... it's almost worth it for the $20 overall extra per month for Verizon - LTE everywhere!!
Network Vision/LTE Deployment is starting now in East Kentucky, North LA, Upstate New York East and VT/NH/ME Markets ahead of schedule
