| Re: stock manipulation said by inteller  :this is pure stock manipulation by Sprint. it is time for the SEC to step in and stop this rumor spreading speculation BS. The SEC needs to smack the RIGHT people around and it's not Sprint. I seem to always find behind every stock fall, it's those pesky suits on wall street running their mouth and making guesses. Funny how companys like Sprint can come out and "boast" about winning multi million dollar contracts with the govt or someone else, and the stock goes now where. But when Joe C. Dollar comes out and says, "Sprint service sucks", the bottom drops out. I'm sure if you check your sources when this story broke, it didn't come from Sprint.  | |

| Indeed. ATTM and VZW's rates, especially data rates, are considerably more expensive, and their data network usage policies are far restrictive than Sprint's are (VZW's are *far* more restrictive).
I have 3 Sprint lines on a shared plan (two dumbphones, one smartphone) and one line (also a smartphone) on a SERO 500 plan; and with unlimited data on three lines, unlimited SMS on all of them, and unlimited MMS (or Sprint's equivalent) on one, and I pay about $130/mo. including taxes, surcharges and 'unfees.'
I've priced out similar services on ATTM and VZW and I figure I'd be paying something over $200 were I to get the same services from either of them.
One wonders what they'd be charging and what their data usage policies if Sprint weren't in the market too. | |

And why can Sprint do this? Simple; because of their huge data network, which raises massive revenues.
Yeah, Sprint's customer service sucks, but their actual product is beyond amazing. If XOHM plays their WiMAX card right, they'll totally dominate the wireless broadband sector.

| Something like this? We've both pissed so much money into the wrong bowl (toilet) for wimax (wrong wireless technology) even though it was overhyped and under-delivers.. let's not flush all that cash away.. let's see if we can make it work without pissing away more of our money into it.. | |

| Re: Something like this? Maybe. But the fact is that Sprint/Clearwire are building out 3.5 G networks, and 2 of the 4 national carriers haven't even come close to building out their 3G networks, with one (ATTM) just starting, really, and one (T-mo) still waiting for spectrum to clear and probably not starting in earnest 'til 2010 at the earliest.
Only one (VZW) has announced anything in the way of 4G plans (LTE), and they probably can't even start 'til 2010 *at the earliest*, due to spectrum issues and the fact that the standards haven't been finalized so the equipment is still on the drawing board (with the exception of a few prototypes here and there).
You may think that WiMax was the wrong choice, but *if* Sprint/Clearwire roll it out successfully and it gets taken up, they could be on the way to a revision to even higher data rates by the time anyone else in the country has their first generation 4G network built. | |
