Sprint tops AT&T and Verizon in 3G network speed test
The words grueling and Sprint were used, and this time they weren't used in the context of the wireless company's financial performance.
This time, as a matter of fact, the news was positive.
The No. 3 wireless company came in No. 1 in a "grueling" and "definitive" test of 3G networks operated by AT&T, Sprint and Verizon.
Gadget blog Gizmodo tested the three wireless networks in eight cities around the U.S. Gizmodo testers in the cities used laptops and wireless modems to test download and upload speeds in three- to five-locations around each city.

how much of VZW's ne spectrum will need to be RE-divested in the wake of the Alltel acquisition?
Good but how soon?
