Sprint's 4G LTE quietly pops up in San Francisco, New York

Sprint is getting ready to open up its 4G LTE networks in San Francisco, New York, and a handful of other cities.

(Credit: CNET/Marguerite Reardon) Sprint has quietly flipped the switch on its 4G LTE network in some areas of San Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C., suggesting an official launch may be close at hand.
While confirming a report that first appeared in The Verge, a company spokesperson did not specify which sections of the cities would have access to the speedier network.
"During a pre-launch phase, customers with 4G LTE-capable devices may begin to see 4G LTE coverage in these areas and are welcome to use the network even before it officially launches," Sprint representative Roni Singleton told CNET, adding that the company plans to announce commercial availability of the 4G LTE network on the San Francisco peninsula in the coming months.
"Over time, the markets will fill in until coverage largely matches the existing nationwide 3G footprint," she said.
