Verizon releases info about an additional 49 markets to get 4G LTE in the first half of 2011

;

Verizon first announced their 4G LTE service back in December with 38 initial markets, including cities like Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York. Now it seems that information has emerged about an additional 49 markets slated for 4G coverage before the first half of 2011.

Verizon made a huge splash at CES this year with the announcement of four LTE ready Android smartphones, and two LTE ready Android tablets. However, one thing we have yet to learn is how much they will charge for 4G mobile data. Big Red currently charges $50 for 5 GB and $80 for 10 GB for their 4G USB modems, but it’s unclear if there will be an unlimited option like there is with the current 3G service.
