Verizon released a list of cities it says will have a new, ultra-fast 4G mobile phone and data network by the end of the year.
The list is fantastic news for Blast readers. If you're in one of our bureau cities, you're probably getting 4G service. In fact, Boston, New York, Miami-Dade, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver and Dallas are all on the list. The only Blast city not covered is Phoenix. Sorry, guys.
