The Samsung Galaxy S III will be re-launched as an LTE enabled model for T-Mobile
Things are going so well for T-Mobile that the carrier is accelerating its rollout. It now expects 100 million people to be covered by its 4G LTE service midway through the year with 200 million people covered by the end of the year. As we already pointed out, T-Mobile is rolling out its 4G service in the same order as when it refarmed its 1900MHz spectrum to HSPA+. That means that the order of T-Mobile's LTE launch should go: Las Vegas, Kansas City, Baltimore, Houston and Washington D.C. 142 million customers are now covered by 4G over that band with Orlando, Florida and Richmond, Virginia now part of that 1900MHz 4G coverage. Overall, 225 million T-Mobile subscribers are covered by the carrier's HSPA+ pipeline. Ah, yes, was it really nearly 27 months ago that the ITU said that HSPA+ was 4G?
