Verizon to begin LTE rollout in Boston and Seattle

The choice of Boston and Seattle as early launch markets could put the LTE network in direct competition with WiMAX operator Clearwire, which will have launched in both markets by next year.

Verizon's LTE game plan:
- To roll-out the network using the 700MHz spectrum it acquired last year.
- To rollout commercial LTE services in up to 30 US markets in 2010.
- To to cover 100 million POPS [US population coverage] by 2013.

Vendors involved in the rollout include Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks and Starent Networks.
