Re: Not Sprint, no sir!

said by veloslave:

That thing called supply and demand is kicking Sprints behind in the capitalism game you speak of. The fact that there is more AND MUCH better supply like Verizon for example that actually puts in a lot of towers instead of expecting their customers to make the coverage happen themselves.

Of course Sprint already has the femtocell... and they want you to pay for it. HA!... that is cheaper than building the towers they need so badly and they don't have to pay for it... what a joke. They better be paying for the equipment AND be giving a fee for the broadband they are leaching off of or else someone is getting the shaft.

Nonsense. Your beloved Verizon is also planning on rolling out their own femtocell product. It's not really in VZW's nature to give anything away so expect to see them charge for theirs too...

Just another reason... with exection to those areas that can't really hope to be served very well (but then you have to wonder where they would be getting the IP to support the FTC out in the sticks) for not playing into this scam. I like Verizon, obviously... so do most but they are still a large corporation that only cares about the mighty dollar. Some companies, like Verizon, realize that keeping the customer happy will bring in the $$ and then there are the companies that just try to shove things down the consumers throats. If everyone else is going to do this then why wouldn't Verizon... especially if it will not need to be used that much except for the weird outlying areas? All the other companies have already told the customers that they should not expect good coverage and that they will need to create their own... so the PR nightmare is practically avoided.

Just my opinion... but I think that if consumers start adopting these things (minus exceptional areas) that we, as consumers will be setting ourselves up for the companies to just keep providing less.
