| That's exactly Sprint's vision, they want to allow absolutely ANY WiMax-capable device to operate on their network, Thats why they are making it contractless. You, as a customer, can either buy from them, or just bring in your own device. It's pretty much fundamentally different from the cellular network structure. Instead of proprietary standards and equipment/software, its completely open to any capable device. View it as WiFi, just with HUGE range. |
