Sprint Names 17 More WiMax Markets
Give it up Sprint...
Give it up before it's too late. You're gonna go bankrupt. You know damn well you don't have the money to implementing these markets with your WiMax. What do you think the customers will come pouring in out of nowhere??? Who's gonna pay to maintain your network, Sprint? Not your exisiting customers. They're all on SERO plans thats why your asses aren't making any money!
You think the masses are gonna give up their iPhones, G1's, Sidekicks for a stupid Palm Pre to deal with awful customer service and billing problems???

It was filled with all the hatred and ignorance that I would expect from some one who has the name “cellfoneluvaâ€Â.
So it doesnt matter how many people will just leave to get LTE. they will still have Wimaxx in some aspect of their lives.
This is the key to wimax. It is not meant as cell service. Wimax it an isp. It does not compete against tmob Cingular and vzw. What it does compete against is cable broadband and dsl. By adding a wireless isp to its line up sprint has opened the door to millions of customers. Wimax is cheep and convenient. It will add isp customers which can help to aliviate the loss of the afore mentioned 250,000 customers a quarter.
he feels 4G isn’t a true wireless technology — all while laying the smack down on WiMAX.â€ÂThere are 400 million people using 3G (HSDPA/WCDMA) technologies today,†he said. “There will be 70 million people using WiMAX in five years.†And by then, of course, Long Term Evolution (LTE), the 4G wireless technology, will be the de facto standard thanks to the patronage of large phone companies such as Verizon, Vodafone and AT&T, Ericsson hopes.

If your so into looking up information dan hesse has already said they are going to be getting LTE in the future also. And he is talking about 5 years, i guarantee there will be better technology by then, just 4-5 years ago we were introducing 3g.
Not a bad trade, and phone, email and chat help has been quite good, much to my surprise.
So you guys drinking the KoolAid keep supporting VZW. I am excited to see WiMax supported in areas I need it and travel in. LTE can wait for me. Thank you!
BTW, I am a professional and don't need consumer toys like the iPhoney nor a half-baked OS like G1.
