US Cellular announces 4G LTE launch plans



U.S. Cellular has announced that they'll be launching their 4G LTE service later this year towards the holiday season. They will be teaming up with King Street Wireless, which will provide them with the high speed data service to compete with Verizon's 4G LTE network. The launch markets will include cities in the following states: Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine, North Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma; however, unlike other major carriers they won't have a 4G-capable handset available at launch. They do plan to launch new 4G-enabled devices while the network is being deployed and plan to offer more phones (and possibly tablets) when their 4G coverage grows.
