So, if you're just TOTALLY fine with your device and you're in a WiMax rich area..
Your choices are
- Resrve yourself to EVDO 3G 200 kbps to 1.5 mbps.
- commit to 24 months (keep in mind you're out of contract)
- buy a new phone at full msrp
- make monthly payments on your invoice for a new device
- GOTO another carrier.. but have the expenses outlined above
And this fails to address Sprints pre paid customers ... Boost and Virgin Mobile .. many of these customers have WiMax service.
Also Sprint has contracts and commitments to MVNOs to co.tongue to provide WiMax
Plus Sprint has several subscribers that have a dedicated in home WiMax modem by Motorola that has an unlimited WiMax plan attached to.it. What about those subs...

...
Organize a class action lawsuit like the other customers that had something Sprint decided to stop providing, so far they have all been successful. I am not being sarcastic.
...
Yeah one of those extortion suits where it's cheaper to settle than it is to "fight"
Red Bull just had one of those where it was way cheaper to settle than it was to entertain or engage a fight.
Lawyers got paid and anyone that could prove they bought a Red Bull during a certain window can make a claim and get a $10 check. .
...
Oh give me a break, you cannot a force a company to continue providing a service which is not profitable. The fact that the immediate reaction of so many people to every minor inconvenience is to sue is one of those things that sometimes makes me fear that America is dying and has no future.
...
For the past two years they've already said they would decommission the Wimax network, so I dont see any merit for a lawsuit. And they're still supporting the network for yet another cull year. These WiMax people will bemlike thw last iDen people expecting great service with three towers left in their town, one themlast day before network shut off lol.

I heard that.
...
I don't follow you....I expressed a bit of hyperbole about my exasperation at the proliferation of frivolous lawsuits.....it was exaggeration for effect not literal....
...
Your exaggeration seemed to have precisely paralleled real life scenarios.
...
America is dying and has no future? I hope that is not a 'real world scenario'

I was agreeing with you.

I see...I guess I'm not familiar with that expression then

It's kind of like, "Preach it, brother!," "AMEN!," or "Sho nuff!".

Wi-Max rich area? 1.5MB EV-DO? Who ever heard of such a thing, what do you sleep under a tower?
Lets face it Wi-max sucked, although if Clear in their infinite wisdom would have put external antenna ports on their devices it would have been a whole different ballgame, but meh.
There are no Wi-max phones that are that great so if I were you I would buy a LTE prepaid phone, like the blazing LG Tribute that Virgin just outed for $80. No, really, $80.
Im pretty impressed at his phone at that price point and Im almost willing to bet that phone smashes your wimax device, and has LTE. There are tons of options these days and the loss of the crappiest 4G is nothing to pine over.

So by this logic, For should still be manufacturing parts for the Model T because there exists a small number of collectors who still own one?
Time marches on. No technology lasts forever. Sprint has given ample warning.
