This could be a big break for sprint. Think about nationwide 4g coverage even in remote areas because of satellite technology.
It is good know that sprint is actually thinking about the future.

I've heard of them before this, apparently they have a huge problem with the frequency they are using. Since it is so close to the frequency gps satellites use their test towers effectively jammed all gps within a few mile radius of them. Definitely not going to fly with gps being maintained by the military.

Looks like fox picked up on this too; although it should say 4G is at least 1Gbs, not up to 1Gbs.

Yes, they still got some work to do. But once its all figured out, it'd be nice to see them arm and arm with Sprint.
Everyone on Sprint I know around here is in Roaming mode for some reason..... lame!
Let it all out buddy. It's a government conspiracy and there will be more where that came from. Illinois?

depending on where you are it could be because of the storms
Storms through Dayton Springfield area were crazy last night. I live south of Dayton in Centerville we got apple sized hail. Destroyed houses and cars. Also lost Sprint service for about 15 minutes thank god for roam control lol

These rumors leaked out back in March of this year and it now looks like Sprint is well into it already. The only obstacle I can see so far is the T-Mo ATT merger but the idea is to replace the equipment on those old Nextel towers which ride the 800 MHz frequency with LTE.

Is there any new or updated info that shows what progress they have made? Where are you getting that they are pretty far into it?
Just a guess since its been a while since that time. Just felt like digging this up to see if anyone else has anything.

It would be awesome if they launched Lightsquared and Clearwire LTE this Fall and a new Nexus Prime to use it. I would **** my pants in joy.

The one and only thing I miss about AT&T; San Antonio used to be SBC's home city so we were at the forefront of all the new projects and upgrades.
Austin sucks, Sprint! Pick SA instead!

Lots of iPhones in Austin because there's a bunch of hipsters there. Damn you hipsters!
Seriously though, I am more interested in Sprint getting their CDMA radios upgraded and on the new frequencies for the better building penetration and coverage. 4G is still a "nice to have"with no practical purpose as long as 3G is working okay.
I hardly every turn Wimax on.

It is interesting but it should maybe be moved to android general/offtopic. The mods often dont like people talking about the unnamed fruit as it just causes flame wars

Apple are charging an extra 100 bucks to have a stupid mainstream Apple on the back of the device. Why would i by an iPhone 4 when i could spend my money and buy an Android device with a quadcore and still have Money left to go out and get pi ssed for the month.
Android all the way. And every iPhone user just has it because of the supposed status of the device. Well I say screw that ill keep my android devices any day of the week over a stupid iPhone that only has 12 months of support
Again a fail apple. You are by law required to provide 24 months of support in the EU so no thanks
