Verizon Wireless has at last officially announced that will be offering the LTE version of Google’s flagship tablet of 2013, the Nexus 7, on its super-fast 4G network, from this Thursday, February 13, 2014.

Customers can also add the tablet to their Share Everything Plan for an additional $10 per month.
