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

I am referring to their other ventures like ION, Sprint Broadband Direct, etc.

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.
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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19874676 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:49:50 EDT Re: Yeah, sure..it'll fail.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19874592 RadioDoc : 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.

Technically, though, it was pretty sweet (IMO).

While Rev A uses 16-QAM. Which in my experience has proven to be more reliable.

I don't expect wimax to be great because of this. Plus who knows if it's going to have QoS implemented or not.

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19873857 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:43:39 EDT Yeah, sure..it'll fail.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19873611 Fox McCloud : yeah, 1 gigabit per second, fixed, is so uncompetitive and terrible *rolls eyes* »weblog.infoworld.com/realitychec···ops.html

how they came to their conclusions, I have no idea.

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.

and if WiMAX is so terrible, why is India deploying it? »www.wimax.com/commentary/blog/bl···-mandate

This blind desire to have "everything the same" of "WiMAX is dead; Verizon and AT&T are using LTE" is ridiculous.

I hope Sprint dominates and blows this "study" out of the water.
