Sprint today added nine cities to the list of markets that it hopes to cover with LTE 4G in the coming months. The new cities include Fort Smith, Ark.; the Oakland, Fremont, Michigan City, McAllen, Edinburg, and Hayward metro areas of California; Key West, Fla.; Bloomington and La Porte, Ind.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Ardmore, Okla.; Mission, Texas; and Eau Claire, Wis. Sprint has already named another 125 markets that will eventually receive LTE coverage. At the moment, its coverage is limited to 32 markets. Sprint said that customers with LTE-capable gear who live in pre-launch LTE markets may see temporary, limited LTE service pop up in the weeks and months before the market officially launches.
