Today Sprintannounced the extension of 4G to three new cities. Richmond, Virginia; Salt Lake City, Utah; and St. Louis, Missouri are all live today.
With the recently introduced Sprint HTC Evo 4G, the first 4G phone, Sprint will need more service areas for it to be a compelling offering.
“In 2010, Sprint expects to launch 4G service in multiple markets, including Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.”
The locations where Sprint’s 4G is currently available includes Atlanta, Honolulu, Chicgo, Baltimore, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Portland (OR), Philadelphia, Dallas/Fort Worth and Seattle.
Despite the anticipation for 4G, ReadWriteWeb has reported on a study that indicated its speed may not be what was expected.
