Re: Sprint ION, signing off.
Scayyer, if you ever come out west to the ISSC, feel free to swing by and say hello. I would love to meet you and take you across to Champions for a free lunch. It shouldn't be hard to figure out which desk is mine. (hint: Sprint ION hubs make good paperweights)
I just want to add that it's amazing that two years ago when I first got introduced the possibility of ION i was totally bedazzled on what it was capable of doing, what it was going to do and where we had been. I had actually just gone full time pernament with Sprint and when they offered ION to my area in June of 2K1, I was obviously all over it and one of the first on the block to promote it. Then of course 9/11 hit, and all the plans and programs that I had participated in at Sprint (ION, SBBD, etc) had their futures changed in a way never before endeavoured. While I never got the opportunity to transition to the downsized version, I did keep my ION until they shut things down in my area in May of this year. Of course by then I knew that my future would not be in Sacto so keeping ION or BizDSL was not going to happen. Nevertheless, I've worked with many folks to try and promote the service and support the pre-installation. I still remember working late one Friday evening just to get 5 orders in for one of Sacto's favorite juice companies. I hope that someday we'll be able to bring the service back, perhaps related to G2 or 3G/4G or something totally different. I can only continue forward, pushing to do what I can to make things better for all. For all of you who have been a part of this forum and supporters of Sprint, I thank you in my own opinion, and I will always be glad you were there. For all others, it is better to try and fail, then to never have tried at all, for that would be the ultimate failure.
To all my friends that I have lost over the last few years, I will never forget you all, and may your own travels be prosperous. To those still with Sprint, the above offer applies to you all. (Email in advance if poss.)
