Re: Standards

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.

Right, WiMAX is an IEEE standard. Devices makers follow the standard and don't have to have any interaction with the carrier.
