Copper Valley Telecom, a regional telecoms operator serving customers within a 15,000 square mile region of south-central Alaska, has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Verizon Wireless to participate in the mobile giant’s ‘Long Term Evolution (LTE) in Rural America’ programme. As previously reported by TeleGeography’s CommsUpdate, through the initiative, Verizon plans to lease pockets of its 700MHz spectrum to rural carriers so that they can roll out 4G networks of their own, over which Verizon will have roaming rights. Copper Valley Telecom CEO Dave Dengel commented: ‘We are enthusiastic to start work on our 4G LTE deployment.
