Virgin Mobile's New $40 Broadband Plan Replaces Others
This begs the question...
Why would anyone want to stick with a contract-based mobile broadband plan from Sprint ($60/month, 5 gigabyte limit) when they can go with this plan? Sprint is cannibalizing its customer base. I just hope that as a sales rep, I get commission for selling it.

Is what Virgin offering Rev.A?

It's utilizing Sprint's nationwide 3G network, so I would imagine that it is Rev. A. But it still makes little sense on Sprint's part. Whatever.

Actually your wrong on that point, sprint is pushing to cover everywhere with 4g, be it WIMAX or LTE and they are leaving 3g behind. So in the future if the customer wants unlimited 3g data cards, they can go to sprints prepaid service, if they want want unlimited 4g they can stick with sprints post-paid service.

It's half a net add for each prepaid you sell, Virgin or Boost, if you are a corporate sales rep.
Why would anyone pay $99.99 for unlimited talk, text and internet when for $69.99 you can get a Boost Curve phone with exactly the same plan? People do it every day though.
Some people like having the upgrade options, some want a specific phone, maybe they want to be able to insure a phone.
I know as a sales rep you might view this as bad, but over all it's *great* for consumers, $40 a month for an unlimited MiFi is freaking AWESOME.
One other thing to consider is that if a customer already has a phone with Sprint that has a data package on it, you knock quite a bit off the monthly fee for a data card. If you have a 4G only modem it...

The only reason I can think of is because they get a deeply subsidized price on the phone. sure it is short-sighted, but we ARE Americans after all.
