So now that Sprint is moving to the LTE standard, does this mean that WiMax will no longer be developed? I mean, i just signed a damn 2 year contract 3 months ago, and am paying an extra 10 bucks a month per smartphone for 4g service, which i was promised i would get in the future. The rep even told us that within a year WiMax coverage would encompass most of Sprints network.
Wimax will still be supported by Sprint. It's not like they can drop it entirely with an abundance of Wimax users on its network. I wouldn't expect widespread expansion of Wimax though since LTE is what's "in"

Was on the phone with *2 today and while waiting i slipped that question in. The guy said that wimax will be supported for the life of all current devices

Ya, they are dropping Wimax. But, you won't be using this phone when it happens.

The 10$ fee is not a 4g fee. Even non 4g smart-phones come with the extra 10$.

It was never, ever called a 4G fee. It's always been called a Premium Data fee from the launch. The confusion comes from it initially only being charged on 4G phones (however, Sprint was always VERY careful to position it as a Premium Data fee for phones that Sprint expected to consume more data and to protect them from the complaints of 4G not being available in all areas).

The rep lied to you about wimax expansion. They will continue to serve wimax until all wimax devices have reached their "life expectancy" but lte is the new 4g standard. Enjoy your wimax device and by the time your contract is due to renew, Sprint will hopefully have a decent lte coverage area.

WiMax will continued to be supported until the absolute earliest they will turn it off; the end of 2015.
It is still a good technology for many things, and I could see them using and maintaing the network beyond that.
you wont be on LTE but you will have faster data speeds on 3g though when the towers are upgraded
Actually they called it that because Dan Hesse, Sprint's CEO said at CES that there would not be a surcharge for 4g data service.

according to engadget, and ceo of spint, they will support wimax until 2015, and phase it out of their network as lte gets in place. by 2013 they will offer lte- advanced. which is ten times faster then the current lte.
this does not mean there will be more expansion of wimax.. wimax is just a pit stop.

No, it is used to pay clearwire for 4g and to pay for network vision (4g).
In other words it is a 4g fee.

Well, sprint is a bit of a pain when it comes to altering their plans. Basically, if he gets a plan with sprint, he will probably have to sign up for the 4g plan. It sucks cause so little of the USA is covered with 4g. I've heard of people flashing to different carriers, this may be a possibility for him as they'll probably be less expensive.

I dont now, but if sprint does in fact get rid of wimax, and our phones are no longer capable of 4g, then they have to drop the premium data add-on, and that would be a change in contract, then they would have to allow you to terminate contract free of charge, then sign up again and get the nexus, or other lte phone for upgrade price....but I would be willing to bet that you could get an upgrade discount before you would have to terminate.

Well, it still does not look very promising for LS: http://www.pcworld.com/article/249082/sprint_gives_lightsquared_six_more_weeks_for_fcc_approval.html
There is another article that indicates that Sprint basically 'forgave' LS deadlines, likely because LS's issue is more relevant to the FCC than to LS itself. Until they get the approval they need from the FCC there won't be LTE for sprint users.
Screw the GNex. I love the phone, but, I'm an absurdist at heart....I'm going to wait for the Galaxy Note. I love my ET4G, but, I'd love it to be absurdly large and perhaps a little faster.
4G? Who cares, I barely find a signal now and even if it was LTE I'd barely get a signal for another year or two...
Get what you want, write off Sprint 4G for another year or two...unless you are in one of their pet markets and it means that much to you.

They're included, my brother has the optimus and we had to add the premium data to our account. If they had their phones activated before they did it for all smart phones they will be an exception to the fee.

Well I created a new plan with sprint [was on parents' plan] and I could have went anywhere. I went with sprint cuz of the data prices, and the overall price wasn't bad. Not gona go to at&t and verizon and get raped with data. Also LTE coming to my area is supposed to be heavy, so we will see.

15 years of loyalty to a company Carries a lot of weight when you know how to get the right person on the phone. for me no other provider can offer services products or discounts that can compare to a company rewarding your loyalty.

I honestly think Sprint will be involved. They're building out their network but there's no way they can get a nation covered by 2013. They will likely partner with Sprint with their lte network for its coverage until they get a hold of things. Reason being, they want to compete against Verizon and At&t, and T-Mobile has the speeds they need, but not exactly the coverage. When sprint finishes their network vision, it'll be on par with Verizon in terms of speeds and coverage.

Agree with you on that one. I actually think it might be better as Sprint is upgrading every tower in their network with a few exceptions. I'm also excited Sprint just bought some people and spectrum from US Cellular in the Chicago market. In two years, Sprint will have THE best network in Chicago, and I'm happy about that.

They will probably be very tempting when it comes to their entry level pricing. Google likes to recruit a lot of customers by promotions that they lose money on, then make the money from elsewhere. (Ie: Google Play Market. If they sell only Android phones, more android apps will be bought from the market.)

The article says the Google network will be data-only, no call minutes or SMS/MMS. That stuff would be handled as VoIP, most likely through Google Voice.
So, I'm guessing it would be $20-40/month for unlimited data. Any sort of cap obviously wouldn't work for a data-only network.

Dish Network owns AWS-4 spectrum at 2000Mhz/2200Mhz spectrum. This frequency covers slightly less customers with slightly less building penetration. The best way to think of it is between Sprint's 3G and Wimax coverage.
If they decide to go with Sprint in the meantime, they'll probably be forced to have a cap on data until they get their own network on the ground. Google will definitely have a strong presence in the U.S. cellular market.

Google's looking at data only network, which means it'll need fast speeds to support voice over IP. LTE is a gsm based technology and Sprint is Google's best carrier friend (Google Voice, Google Play bill to account features, etc.)

For anyone in the philadephia area who's been waiting for 4G LTE with sprint, looks like we will have to wait even longer.
My job has about 30+ phones with sprint so the manager here emailed our Specialist and this was emailed back to us today 12/5/12
Good Morning xx,
After doing my research, The only answer I received is that the Philly market will be getting 4g LTE coverage in the upcoming months.
There is not a definite date, however it is launching soon.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Wow that is whack. I. September when I got the phone they told late November or December. Now it may be even longer... smh. 3g blows in this area.. might have to call to see if they can work something out. Paying extra $10 a month for premium data which sucks cause Theres no 4g.

The $10 "premium data" fee originally started rolling out on the NEWLY released 4G phones but Sprint was adamant that it was NOT a 4G fee. Those in the know at the time knew it would be rolled out to ALL smartphones after a time. (Which it is).
They will NOT waive this fee, however, they have been known to credit your accounts with "loyalty bonuses".
I to came from the OG EVo, then shift, then 3d joke phone, to this one.

The $10 "premium data" fee originally started rolling out on the NEWLY released 4G phones but Sprint was adamant that it was NOT a 4G fee. Those in the know at the time knew it would be rolled out to ALL smartphones after a time. (Which it is).
They will NOT waive this fee, however, they have been known to credit your accounts with "loyalty bonuses".
I to came from the OG EVo, then shift, then 3d joke phone, to this one.

Correct. The $10 fee was originally for 4G, but after many complaints from customers who did not have 4G, they changed the terms of the fee to smartphone fee.

Yes I have read the stickies. The person who posted this originally probably want aware of it. But why the tone? Come on, we all started out here and made some mistakes. We learn and move on. Help those who aren't aware of the rules.
