Sprint to Install Hydrogen-Based Fuel Cells in Base Stations
Hydrogen on top of buildings?
Now, Sprint does not need to install anymore crap right now. They cant even install LTE properly, get their fiber working and laid out, or even upgrade the 3G equipment for an obsolete and dead technology, so why are they concerned with deploying fuel-cells that are not even viable for this type of use yet?
Sprint is like a meth addict...always starting a ton of projects, then getting side tracked, jimmy-rigging things when they are called out, and then giving up and starting on something new. Reminds me of their merger with Nextel and integration with PowerSource devices, reminds me of the fumble with WiMAX, reminds me of them claiming to start Network Vision only to come out later and say they...

YAY you have LTE, you must live in Omaha Nebraska, because for the last 16 months San Francisco has been deploying, and "testing" the network (Sprint's words not mine) and the testing has failed 95% of the time. Aside from this, I have, in writing, from Sprint, that 3G upgrades were to be complete by December 2013 in San Francisco, and 4G LTE upgrades to be complete by September 2013... when I complained in March 2013 on why they had no service 5 months after selling me a device and claiming LTE would be in my city Q1 2013. ...

Sometimes people expect more than what they actually need which leads to a perception of inadequate service. With the new network vision build out, Sprint's service is shaping up to be very formidable. My city is currently being transitioned from 3G to 4G. The areas that have completed towers in and around the city, have provided an absolute improvement. My friends, family and colleagues that have VZW or AT&T, are very impressed with Sprint's performance. So much that my Sister, her husband and several other peopl...

Sprint has the 2nd highest bill price after Verizon, you do realize that right?
Network Vision in the areas of California where they claim it is live and complete, are in fact not complete, nor operating as Sprint claims. Further, they also are not performing to the hopes Sprint has for Network Vision. We are talking straight up refarmed Nextel ESMR not getting the coverage or speed as it was originally anticipated.
Then again, I actually know people who work with the networks in placement of towers, and their permitting and they all admitted that Sprint will get done last of the major carriers and will have a network not much faster than what they can currently offer today, while s...

Actually, I'm not employed within any area of the wireless industry. I am a Field Service Representative for a state wide food equipment servicing company.

The Hindenburg was designed when safety precautions and devices were not as stringent. Grounding devices to avoid electrical shocks were almost non-existent. This was believed to be the cause of the Hindenburg's demise. Once it touched the docking tower, static electricity caused a spark from blimp to tower that ignited the hydrogen which was not as safely contained as today. Today's safety is much more observed with all fuels.
However, I found your post comical.

The thing about hydrogen gas is that it is extremely lighter than air and dissipates rather quickly. I read that the flames burned out in about 60 seconds.

Yes hydrogen is just as safe as gas or diesel. Except when it isnt....like in the physical reality of the planet earth.
If you consider all the ingredients encircling safety in everything from health effects to combustion characteristics, Hydrogen is actually a very worthy alternative to most fuels. It all has to due with proper containment just like gasoline and propane. There is a high level of experimentation in the auto industry for hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative.

I am happy that Sprint is seeking to lower their carbon footprint. I really appreciate a company that is interested in the well being of this planet.
Also in reference to the previous post in areas where Network Vision has been completed with LTE and Sprint Spark I have herd nothing but good things from existing customers (my friends)
I have Tmobile, I say it all the time and will keep repeating it phenomenal service near the city and non existent service outside of it period. 4G LTE when it launched was excellent now that there are more subscribers with ...
