Another day, another set of LTE sightings pop up as T-Mobile readies networks across the country in their effort to hit the 100 million POPs covered goal by summers end. This time we’re focused on Austin and San Antonio Texas; Seattle, Washington and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Accordingly, a few sightings have popped up in and the Sacramento, Santa Barbara and other surrounding areas in California.
As per our usual warning, these sightings are unofficial and represent what we believe is T-Mobile’s “fine tuning” and “testing” stage prior to launch. However, all three of these markets are listed as set to launch before the end of June so there’s a good indicator we aren’t far off from an official launch. So I wouldn’t jump too far ahead and assume that a LTE sighting means an entire market is live.
