I keep waiting for "Sprint Enhances Network, Expands Coverage Throughout Southern Arizona!" - sheureka
Didn't they just have one for Arizona a few weeks ago? Or maybe that was for Phoenix only? I doubt they'll do one for Southern AZ.
Tucson and Phoenix are very well covered - and I-19 will soon be covered all the way to the Mexican border. They told me Sierra Vista/Douglas/Bisbee would be covered by the end of this quarter, but I think that was just to shut me up. Alltel has EVDO in Sierra Vista now, and it's really not that big of a deal to me but given the limitations on broadband options here Sprint could probably do very well with aircards in this area. - sheureka
Does anyone know where I can find a map of Sprint's tower locations. I am familiar with their coverage area maps and "new" and "comming soon" tower maps; but I have yet find a map showing their current tower locations.
