Sprint Mulling Switch to LTE and T-Mobile Merger

Jul 13, 2010, 7:29 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Speaking to the Financial Times, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse indicated that the company is considering adding a Long Term Evolution network to its growing list of supported networks. Hesse said, "We have the spectrum resources where we could add LTE if we choose to do that, on top of the WiMAX network. The beauty of having a lot of spectrum is we have a lot of flexibility." Sprint's WiMax partner, Clearwire, has also said that a switch to LTE is a possibility in the future should it become necessary. Sprint competitors AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile have all committed to building LTE networks of their own. Hesse also noted that a merger with T-Mobile was "logical" if both companies build out LTE networks, though he didn't confirm that a deal between the two companies is forthcoming.
