Re: Nobody at the wheel
If it wasnt for Sprint people would still be paying $400.00+ a month for cell service.
Competition is good.
And, its launching >> »telephonyonline.com/home/news/sp···_121007/
Open network, and "Sprint does not restrict their customers from streaming video or P2P file sharing" is a big selling point. >> »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_Cor···twork.29 |

| Even though it said it's for "Sprint employee's", I'm glad they have people using the service first who know what to expect, who to call to fix bumps in the road before we the consumer gets it first. They want to do it right and this is the right way to do it. Test it out in the market with beta tester who know what's going on instead of some techno-geek who wouldn't know the first thing about opening a network trouble ticket to the right group and suggest fixes. |

Indeed. ATTM and VZW's rates, especially data rates, are considerably more expensive, and their data network usage policies are far restrictive than Sprint's are (VZW's are *far* more restrictive).
I have 3 Sprint lines on a shared plan (two dumbphones, one smartphone) and one line (also a smartphone) on a SERO 500 plan; and with unlimited data on three lines, unlimited SMS on all of them, and unlimited MMS (or Sprint's equivalent) on one, and I pay about $130/mo. including taxes, surcharges and 'unfees.'
I've priced out similar services on ATTM and VZW and I figure I'd be paying something over $200 were I to get the same services from either of them.
One wonders what they'd be charging and what their data usage policies if Sprint weren't in the market too. |

And why can Sprint do this? Simple; because of their huge data network, which raises massive revenues.
Yeah, Sprint's customer service sucks, but their actual product is beyond amazing. If XOHM plays their WiMAX card right, they'll totally dominate the wireless broadband sector.
