I did. On both of those maps LTE coverage covers but a fraction of the country, Verizon has rolled out LTE to about 90% of its network footprint (http://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Verizon-4G-LTE-coverage-20130520.png http://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ve...) and they are still in the midst of an active deployment - the sheer cost of this deployement is staggering - the figures I know, for the Samsung LTE hardware - just the hardware alone for a mid sized market, just 700 or so sites costs around 70 million dollars - thats ahead of installation/construction costs - which I'm estimating at somewhere between 100-150k a pop (assuming no structural mods are needed, and there are no construction charges to bring in new fiber backhaul) - figure the US has around 200,000 cell sites - I cant find out how many finland has - but just on the size 104k sq miles (about the size of colorado) I'd estimate no more than 2000 sites - probably less.
