MetroPCS has begun commercial 4G LTE services in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit is the third U.S. city where MetroPCS is offering commercial 4G LTE service.

"Expanding our 4G LTE network to Detroit marks a key milestone for the Company by bringing 4G mobile broadband services to area customers and consumers who want to experience more and who demand more value. We look forward to expanding 4G LTE coverage throughout Eastern and Western Michigan throughout 2011," said Roger D. Linquist, president, CEO and chairman of MetroPCS.

MetroPCS recently launched 4G LTE service in Las Vegas and Dallas-Fort Worth, and 4G LTE network rollouts are planned for later this year and early 2011 in the remaining MetroPCS U.S. markets, including Boston, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, Sacramento, San Francisco and Tampa. MetroPCS plans to further expand 4G LTE coverage in 2011 along with the launch of additional devices to increase MetroPCS' portfolio of feature phones, touch screens, smartphones and 4G handsets.
