Sprint today announced that it will extend its 4G network to a number of additional cities by the end of the year. The cities announced are Cincinnati, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Miami, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City and St. Louis.

With 27 markets already equipped with 4G and more being planned for this year, Sprint is fulfilling its promise to light up major metropolitan areas with speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G.

Earlier this year, Sprint announced that Boston, Denver, Kansas City, Houston, Minneapolis, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., would all receive 4G coverage in 2010.
