Verizon will take 4G LTE to rural areas

Verizon has plans to deploy 4G on a scale that has never been seen or experienced. Currently Verizon is known for its outstanding coverage and large 3G service areas and they have no plans to give up that reputation anytime soon.

"The licenses we bought in the 700MHz auction cover the whole U.S.," Melone said. "And we plan to roll out LTE throughout the entire country, including places where we don't offer our CDMA cell phone service today."

The upcoming LTE service may be the best chance for high speed internet access to those who live out in rural places that do not have the option for cable or DSL services. Verizons target for LTE is to hit 20-30 markets by the end of 2010 and expect a faster adoption rate in the years following.
