Verizon today put up a teaser page for its upcoming 4G service. The site doesn’t offer any go live dates but does mention the benefits of the network, such as its promised 5-12 Mbps of bandwidth and the lower lag inherent to LTE. Prospective subscribers can sign up to be notified when the network reaches turn on in the fall. Most of the cities, if not all, that wil get LTE first have NFL teams. Verizon this year became the offical cell provider to the NFL.
All of the LTE hardware which will ship this fall is known to involve modems or routers. The LG VL600 may be the first USB modem, and the Verizon-branded FiveSpot router would provide a MiFi equivalent. Phones aren’t anticipated until early next year.
