Sprint said today that it will combine how it runs its three separate networks — CDMA, iDEN, and WiMax (and eventually LTE), onto a single platform by taking advantage of multimode 3G and 4G base stations. The multimode stations, which Sprint had previously said it would deploy, will be able to handle all Sprint's networks from a single cell tower.

Sprint said the multi-mode base stations are the core part of the company's Network Vision plan.

T-Mobile and Sprint are not the result of mergers and have come far for what they have had to work with. MetroPCS is another.
It is a matter of CHOICE.
