Sprint: We're dedicated to WiMAX

"Sprint made the decision to go with WiMAX for its 4G offerings instead of the widely-adopted LTE technology because it would allow the company to establish a 4G network much quicker than the competition. Verizon won't switch on its 4G network until the end of this year, while 2011 is the target for both AT&T and T-Mobile."

No, sprint uses WiMax because that is what Clearwire uses...and they use Clearwire because they refuse to build up their own network. LTE is clearly better than WiMax, and while it still does not meed the minimum requirements to be called 4G, it is a lot closer than WiMax.

Your kidding right? LTE vs Wimax? Clearwire's network. Clearwire didn't have the network till sprint purchased over 50% of the company. Sprint secured funding and got the ball rolling before LTE was a wet stain in VZ or ATT's pants. Please getyour facts strait before shooting yourself in the foot.

Ok. Now the shot that needs to be fired. Sprint has never stuck to anything it's put it's meat hooks into. Look at ION. WiMax will be wireless ION. They can deny it all they want. Having worked for the company, I've seen first hand what it's like having a project half azzed backed and killed before it gets out the door. Dan isn't fooling anyone. Sprint doesn't have the staying power to stick with a winner. 2 billion down the drain with ION, even more plus thousands of employee's down the drain with WiMax. Clearwire needs to just buy out sprint, fire the rest of it's employees and keep the network for it'self.
