Verizon announced today that it has launched a brand new 4G LTE home internet option for residents in parts of Savannah, Georgia, Springfield, Missouri, and the Tri-Cities of both Tennessee and Virginia. In a statement to Gizmodo, a Verizon spokesperson said the new plan is primarily for rural customers in those areas where there is "excess network capacity." It's not exactly the kind of expansion the U.S. needs to close the digital divide, but it's a small, small start.
