Verizon today announced at CTIA that their new LTE service will be live in 38 markets at launch. Verizon didn't specifically state when this launch would be, though rumors peg the launch in late November or early December. The company says they're looking to reach about 110 million people with those deployments, on top of plans to offer LTE in more than 60 airports across the United States. Those launch markets include:

•Large sections of the Northeast Corridor, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia,

•Throughout Miami and south Florida, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and New Orleans as well as Charlotte, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee

•Chicagoland, St. Louis, the Twin Cities, Pittsburgh and major cities in Ohio

•Major population centers in California as well as Seattle, Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas

"We are driven by the vision to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband connectivity and mobility to rural and urban Americans alike," said COO Lowell McAdam. "With our initial 4G LTE launch, we will immediately reach more than one-third of all Americans where they live, right from the start -- and we will quickly introduce 4G LTE throughout the Verizon coverage area."

Verizon has previously stated they'd mirror their current EVDO deployments by 2014. The company again confirmed that launch speeds would be 5-12 Mbps downstream, and 2 to 5 Mbps upstream in "real-world, loaded network environments." Verizon (though T-Mobile might disagree) says these speeds "are significantly faster than Verizon Wireless and other wireless providers’ current or promised 3G network speeds."

There was still no word on pricing, with Verizon's Lowell McAdam telling attendees of a press conference today that the company is still weighing their options. McAdam says Verizon hasn't necessarily ruled out the idea of sticking with unlimited plans in some incarnation, though he made it clear Verizon's a big fan of the "bucket o' bytes" approach to pricing.
