Hello Rob and all,
First of all, before we all believe a word of this. Some
background on how legit PCS Intel is? Since there's a lot of things that
make me doubt how accurate the whole story is. The iDEN spectrum buyback
has been in the works for a while, I don't believe the tie-in to WiMax
as changing the world for Sprint. Can we confirm this... Since I smell
fish... A classic example from the article.
"As a part of the transaction of iDEN to the federal government, Sprint
will gain a blank check to rebuild the 700 and 800 MHz bands in their
image, taking licenses as needed from whoever has them regardless of how
fairly they gained them at FCC auction in the past."
Yeah right... I don't believe this.
-Ben

Here's the scoop from
[http://pcsintel.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1100
|PCSIntel]:
''The Department of Defense, working with the FCC, DHS, the President,
and Congress has brokered a framework agreement to purchase Sprint
Nextel's iDEN network as the first phase of a national overhaul of its
security framework in regards to communication.''
''Sprint intends to deploy a national, non-fixed ))WiMax(( network with
as much, if not more coverage than the existing CDMA network.''
Wow. Gee. Huh. Uh, so for us consumers, what the heck does this mean?
Rob
