"Yeah, Sprint has a bad track record...but it's not like they can't turn it around or come out with a good product"

Sadly, Sprint's track record in every broadband initiative it has ever embarked upon shows this is highly unlikely.

WiMax is not the problem. Sprint is.

ION was a great product, IMO, it was just either (or both) ahead of its time or just did not have the proper marketing and customer interest. Technically, though, it was pretty sweet (IMO).

That's the sad part...they usually have a very good product from a technical standpoint but manage to screw it up via mismanagement or being under-funded, or both.

Sprint has done a great job with EVDO. It's faster and mo betta than Verizon EVDO. Sprint's EVDO is ranked higher on this site as well as on evdoforums.com.

That is in their core wireless phone business though. I am referring to their other ventures like ION, Sprint Broadband Direct, etc.

I think where it needs to be 'ranked' higher is by the business world - i.e. those that use datacards.

Nobody denies Sprint's EVDO, Verizon's EVDO or AT&T's UMTS/HSDPA being good.
