In addition to Southern California, Sprint PCS serves more than 160 metropolitan markets including more than 4,000 major cities and communities across the nation. ''This expansion is great for all of our customers. But it's most exciting for our Los Angeles area customers, who can now use Sprint PCS' state-of-the-art digital technology in areas across the entire Southern California region,'' added Egdorf.
