Re: What a joke.. This is why I believe Sprint released a updated version of the coverage maps. Look under Nextel direct connect and you will find that their are now Sprint devices tab available for viewing showing those 40 markets with their current deployments. There are some dead spots, but as more markets are opened, the coverage gap will be minimized. Nextel I am more than certain will be leaving by 2010 and that the original deadline schedule is set for iDEN. Once that happens the remaining 800mhz that can be used by Sprint from the Nextel network, will be to deploy 800mhz CDMA EVDO Rev.A.
Sprint had to sacrifice some 800mhz spectrum because of the FCC public safety interference and where given some of the 2ghz spectrum in return for that lost spectrum which is where Sprint is relocating TV broadcasting stations. According to the website dealing with that about 82% of it is complete. |
