They plan to sell WiMAX laptop cards, but that's it. OTOH, they apparently don't plan to just be a dumb pipe.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19780875 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:07:31 EDT Re: Sure.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19772357 tc1uscg :

Sounds like they'll be operationally autonomous from Sprint. Seems that they are developing their own customer support and billing, Sprint's two weaknesses.
If Sprint was smart, they would just sell the backbone and let the "other guy" deal with hardware and CS. Sorta like what they do when they provide LD for VoIP providers. Thatway, if there's a problem, instead of dealing with some dumb shit customer, they deal with some dumb shit tech at the providers switching center. Keeps Sprint out of the picture.. ;).. That also means DON'T SELL WIMAX EQUIPMENT FROM YOUR RETAIL STORES TOO. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19772357 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:55:59 EDT Re: Sure.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19768090 xenophon : Sounds like they'll be operationally autonomous from Sprint.
