Re: Sprint wont be using LTE...

Yes, I thought that was interesting as well.

But if they're planning on using LTE on the 700MHz spectrum, the obvious partners are at&t and Verizon, who may not be interested for certain reasons.

Companies will definitely be making CDMA/LTE dual-mode devices, though, so it's possible that Cox could just be interested in using Sprint's CDMA PCS network as a backup and not the Xohm/Clearwire WiMax network.

Possibly, but that seems like a waste of time/money/resources. Why wouldnt they simply partner with Verizon/ATT from the start if they will need to ultimately roam on their network?

Maybe AT$T and Verizon do not want to work out a partnership agreement for roaming or they want too much $$$$ from Cox.

Maybe, but to integrate the billing systems of two massive companies is nothing to sneeze at. Especially when you consider they would need to rip all those systems out and start all over again once they moved away from Sprint to use the LTE network. I cant imagine the opportunity costs of integrating two diverse networks within a few years outweighs the additional money ATT/Verizon could be charging them.

Re: Sprint wont be using LTE...

why would you need so many billing systems? Cox can have a combo card created for their use. And I wouldn't doubt that's their goal. The only thing they seem to be getting from Sprint is roaming outside of the Cox network. The only thing they'd really need to do is make sure their network worked easily with Sprint in each way such as billing, and roaming and thats it. The companies are dot doing anything else but roaming.
