Gee. Huh. Uh, so for us consumers, what the heck does this mean?
It might mean that Sprint is worried they are going to have to compete with Google WiFi (rumors), municiple WiFi and that more WiFi enabled phones will be coming out. Also if the coverage is there and Sprint has the phones, their costs are much cheaper routing calls through WiFi (VOIP). It's seems like a good move to push things forward. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
