It's not yet clear if those are all the cities that'll see Verizon 4G LTE on July 21st, but we'll be sure to update the list with new markets as Verizon announces them. Although this expansion isn't quite as large as the previous one — at least not yet — it's still good to see Big Red continue to build out its LTE network on a fairly regular basis. So, are any of you in one of the markets that'll be gaining Verizon 4G once July 21st rolls around?
