Correct, "Available" in this context means turned on today, but newly added. This list doesn't include previously enabled markets, I guess I should clarify that.If you have a SGS3, you can check whether you're on 5 or 10 MHz LTE channels by going into ServiceMenu by dialing *#0011#, then look under LTE BW. There's no way to do it on the HTC One X.

I should note that of the new markets, only Anchorage is is 5 MHz FDD. All the others are 10 MHz.https://twitter.com/WiWavelength/statuses/24376803...
