Sprint today announced a significant expansion of its LTE 4G network. The company launched service in 45 new markets today. Notably, Sprint's LTE network is now available in all of New York City, adding the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Other major markets that now have access to Sprint's LTE network include Santa Ana and Anaheim, Calif.; Pensacola and Tallahassee, Fla.; Lexington, Ky.; and Spokane, Wash.
