New York, NY | Sprint Liberates Their 4G From Clearwire How might this affect happy Sprint 4G WiMax subscribers like me? |

| You shouldn't notice much. The build will take time, Sprint will operate Mobile WiMax and LTE In conjunction for a while, slowly migrating people to LTE modems and smartphones. |

It will take several years. When it's ready perhaps they'll allow upgrades before contract expires. They allow annual upgrades already. Sprint/Tmob might merge by then as well. |

Most people replace their smartphones every couple years anyway. So even if you pop for a Sprint Wimax phone now, you can switch to an LTE smartphone in 2 yrs when Sprint will be getting LTE coverage everywhere.

Thanks to Karl, Uncle Sam and Xenophon for their reassuring words; I appreciate it! |

the same was suppose to happen with Nextel but never did. SO stating that would totally be off base at this point. |

That will work fine and dandy if you arent in Metro Detroit or another forgotten 4G area. |
