Sprint 4G Arrives in Austin, San Antonio
Handful of market launches remaining for 2009
by Karl Bode Monday 16-Nov-2009 tags: wireless
Sprint today has announced that they've launched their faster Mobile WiMax wireless broadband service in both Austin and San Antonio. According to Sprint, customer plans for the new service cost $69.99 monthly for access to both the Sprint 3G and 4G network. The plan costs $10 more than their 3G plan alone, but the 4G access comes with no caps (3G users face a 5GB monthly usage cap). Sprint also sells a $10 "day pass" in 4G markets. The company is currently giving away their 3G/4G U300 USB Modem for free after a $50 mail-in rebate. According to Sprint, the company plans to launch the faster service in Honolulu; Maui, Hawaii; Salem, Oregon and Seattle before the end of the year.

Great ad idea...

Maybe Sprint should run a TV ad now showing a map of there 4G coverage, next to a map of AT&T and Verizons 4G coverage. I hear that type of ad works well.

Seems Sprint may be on the upswing anyway. At least a large analyst firm thinks that Sprint will stop the loss of customers in the 4th qtr and gain customers next year as well.

Credit Suisse upgraded the wireless carrier, predicting the company will stop losing net subscribers in the last few months of the year.

Chaplin said Sprint's subscriber base should remain flat in the fourth quarter, helped by the growth of cheaper, prepaid calling plans. That would be the first time in two years that Sprint's customer base hasn't shrunk.

He expects the company to add 300,000 subscribers in 2010. On top of that, Virgin Mobile USA, which Sprint has agreed to acquire for $483 million, should add 1.2 million subscribers, Chaplin said.

Re: Great ad idea...

Lets hope that their projections aren't too unrealistic. 300,000 add for Sprint in general is realistic.

Sprint Nextel on notice for possible credit downgrade

The news followed Monday’s announcement from Sprint to lay off 2,000 to 2,500 jobs systemwide — a move that could save the company $350 million annually in labor costs. Most of the cuts, including an unspecified number at its Overland Park headquarters, will occur by year-end.

Sprint paid the 1 billion in outstanding debt and also got upgraded to outperform. »kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansa···na=yfcpc

Will Michigan ever get 4G?

It seems to me there's never any kind of 4G released in Michigan. I checked both Clear and Sprint for coverage of my state, and...nada. What are we, not profitable or something? *pfft*

check www.clear.com for job postings that will give you an idea. Ohio is looking getting it soon. Toledo, Cleveland and a few other cities.

Sprint has rocky ground in MI with iPCS being there still. Clear will be the brand along with Comcast for 4G.
