Have you ever known Sprint to start and finish anything BIG? (and not screw it up) EVDO not withstanding. Look at ION. Nextel. Now, WiMAX. They were already buying plywood to shutter their CO's  till they decided to bite the bullet and go LTE. They may deploy in some big markets but I see Sprint turning into a MVNO haven and nothing more then another MCI/Worldcom. 
As far as the numbers go, I'll say the idea is spot on that their network will bog down during high use. EVDO use to be faster but with all the phones on it now, it's no better then what 2G use to be at times.  |

same pantech px-500 in a linksys 54g3gs(or whatever) router Thats a good card. Had one just like it when I was issued a laptop. Then they gave us these worthless USB modems. I thought I lost mine, they gave me another. Then I found it. It's in a drawer around here somewhere. Didn't turn it back in when I found it after I left the company (Sprint) . But I do remember that was a great modem.  |
