Re: Hopefully

Sprint has never, ever, followed through on any project outside their core business. This won't be any different. Ask anyone who lived through Sprint Broadband Direct or ION for details.

They have been very successful with the EVDO rollout. Check out evdoforums.com as Sprint is outselling Verizon 2-1 with EVDO cards.

Theres a very simple reason for that:

TOS

VZW - Draconian

Sprint - Slurp away.

VZW has a better network coverage wise, but its TOS is absolutely useless for real use. I've had VZW for my cell service long before it even was VZW, but I will never use them for data.

Sprint has slightly better EVDO coverage on average than Verizon and Sprint has EVDO roaming on Alltel while Verizon does not. Huge EVDO rural areas in some states.

The only area where Verizon EVDO is better than Sprint may be in customer support. Verizon's support is still poor compared to consumer products, but Sprint is even worse.

But, true, Verizon's draconian TOS has helped Sprint.

Doesn't change this situation one bit. Outselling Verizon is no great achievement given Verizon's TOS silliness. They'll punt WiMax like they did everything else outside their core business.
