Re: Backwards?
On a technical aspect, the union between Sprint/clearwire and their spectrum is bittersweet. The bitter part is that the 2.5Ghz they have allocated for 4G, will require more tower infrastructure per area for linking handsset to tower as opposed the competition. Obviously, cost is factor. Here's the sweet:
Sprint/clearwire wire hold a very good chunk of the spectrum. Enough to blanket 92 percent of the country. So by comparison, They actually own slighly more than the other carriers. So coverage will no longer be an issue for Sprint. While transmission for 2.5Ghz is shorter range, Data transfer will transfer better at this frequency.
