Verizon's Commercial Confirms LTE Launch in December
Verizon Wireless has released a commercial on its planned 4G LTE service launch beginning in December 2010.
Last month Verizon detailed the company’s LTE network launch in 38 major metropolitan areas, covering more than 110 million Americans, by the end of the year. In addition, the company will launch 4G LTE in more than 60 commercial airports coast to coast – both the airports within the launch areas plus airports in other key cities.

Verizon Wireless expects 4G LTE average data rates to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded network environments.
