You beat me to it Joe. I was all set to post this myself. This will be interesting as it will the first 4G network in those metro areas.
Did they really need 3 separate press releases.....I should have noticed they were all the same :loony:
Should be in Philly by years end as well. I've noticed some panels being changed out. Only maybe 20-30% of Sprint's total sites though.
How is this different from WiMaX? Is this LTE? And how does Sprint plan to market this vs. their CLEAR service?
