Verizon Bringing Service to 36 NYC subway Stations

It doesn't matter that Verizon has the best 4G network when you are in the subway and have no service. Verizon is joining rival cell carriers AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile by inking a deal with Transit Wireless to bring 3G and LTE voice and data to 36 subway stations later in the year. These stations already have wireless service, it's just a matter of Verizon adding its own hardware. The network will begin to rollout service in the next few weeks in Chelsea and midtown in Manhattan.

Big Red is also participating in phase two of Transit's coverage project. This phase brings coverage to 40 new stations, including Grand Central, Herald Square, and Bryant Park, in early 2014.

T-Mobile Moto X Not Available In Stores At First

The Moto X will be out on all five major US telecoms, but T-Mobile customers will have a harder time getting one. Mike Sievert from Big Magenta has told AllThingsD that the phone will be able through Motorola only at first. He says that the new phone could become available in retail stores, but announcements would be come later in the year if it was to happen. Pricing is also concealed, and I'm not sure whether the no-contract carriers will play nice with the Moto X.. Either way, if you are on T-Mobile and want a Moto X, prepare yourself for an adventure.
