Despite the fact that Verizon and AT&T are testing their own LTE networks, they won’t be the first ones to launch one. It seems that MetroPCS, a regional prepaid mobile operator plans to deploy LTE in the second half of 2010. The carrier has about 5.4 million subscribers in 14 markets which means it will deploy its network faster than Verizon or AT&T. Surprisingly MetroPCS doesn’t have any smartphones which could benefit from that LTE technology. According to Tom Keys, MetroPCS’ chief operating officer, a Canadian smartphone is heading to MetroPCS next year.
