Speaking in Barcelona for this year’s Mobile World Congress, Verizon CTO Dick Lynch says that Verizon’s LTE plans are on track and that the company should launch the faster service in between 25 and 30 markets later this year. According to Lynch, Verizon is in the final “phase 4″ of testing the technology in Seattle and Boston. That testing should be done in approximately two months, after which Verizon will announce some commercial launch markets. Hopefully they’ll also announce pricing plans for the technology, so far only hinting that they may be utilizing some kind of metered billing when the product finally launches. Speeds will initially be between 5 and 12 Mbps.

LTE is an integral part of a new Verizon strategy to ditch aging copper, and as such the company hopes to have the entire network upgraded by the end of 2014.
