Sprint Seriously Considering Sale of Nextel
Possibilities?
With Nextel out of their way It can be possible making DT acquire Sprint with less complications. I'm also thinking what will be the effects for the upcoming wimax and qchat.
...
It would make sense since sprint towers (not the nextel towers)run on the same spectrum as T-Mobiles GSM towers. Yes they'll need new base stations (or modify existing) to run GSM, but it would probably be cheaper than adding your own towers to expand coverage. And if they're allowed to keep all that spectrum by the FCC, maybe they can offer 3G over that same spectrum as well(though they did already shell out a lot of dough for the AWS spectrum).
...
T-Mobile USA runs its GSM voice network strictly on 1900MHz.
And how do you know what Sprint is doing for 4G? The standards haven't even been established yet.

Sprint has been testing WiMax in select cities.
Ever hear of Xohm? 🤤
Indeed I have. I have also heard that it's been delayed with no future release date given. I have also heard that even though Sprint is calling it "4G" that's actually inaccurate since neither the 3GPP (via LTE for Release 8 ) nor 3GPP2 (via UMB for the newest improvements to CDMA2000) have actually established the standards for what will officially be known as 4G.

Looks like 4g is on the way 😎
