Ya, that is a huge list isn’t it. Trying to keep up with all the 4G LTE expansions and new market launches is ridiculous. After catching the list from Droid-Life, we cruised on over to Verizon’s news center to see what else they had listed. Since August 3rd they have made 12 announcements for either new 4G LTE markets or expansions. The other carriers are lucky to get a few markets or expansions out each month, let alone almost everyday. According to Verizon’s numbers, as of July 19th they had 4G LTE active in 337 markets, covering nearly 75% of the U.S. population. With plans to hit 400 markets and jump from 230 million covered to 260 million covered, you can expect to have a hard time finding normal places to be that won’t provide you with some 4G LTE speeds. Kinda creepy really.

I think you have some of your New and Expanding markets mixed up. Houghton Michigan got 4G back in June. And I can confirm that because I was there 3 weeks ago.
