AT&T has announced that its 4G LTE network now covers more than 150 million people across the United States.

The coverage is more than double AT&T's 4G LTE coverage at the end of 2011, with still more expansion planned through the end of the year. AT&T plans to expand 4G LTE to 250 million people by year-end 2013 and to 300 million by year-end 2014. AT&T 4G LTE is in 103 markets today.
