I do NOT have anything against Sprint, except their completely worthless management. They really do have great prices, and I hope they survive for competitions sake.
However, 1) This is another blow to the sinking wireless giant. Sprint is hemorrhaging customers and money terribly.
2) I don't believe their Wimax network is going to go anywhere. First of all, It looks like their support from other major tech companies has all but dried up. Secondly, I don't know if they have enough leverage to be able to borrow enough money for a robust, nationwide roll-out. Another thing is that Wimax (4G) can hardly rival HSDPA/HSUPA (3G) in bandwidth, latency, etc. Verizon/AT&T/Europe/Asia's future LTE 4G technology will blow Wimax away.
Even though T-Mobile hasn't publicly announced it's going to LTE, I can't see them NOT going with it, as it's going to dominate. Sprint will be all by it's lonesome, selling inferior WiMax, if Sprint still exists at all.
