Las Vegas Customers Receive More 3G Coverage With A New Verizon Wireless Cell Site Added In The First Quarter
LAS VEGAS, NV — The increase in network coverage and capacity means more calls, e-mail, text and picture messages, plus expanded wireless access to the Web.
Verizon Wireless invested nearly $50 million in Nevada in 2008 to enhance service and coverage. Nationally, the company has invested more than $50 billion in its network since it was formed in 2000.
