Interview w/ Marty Cooper - Father of the Cell Phone

[legion125]

I read this article today and had to share. Mr. Cooper discusses how Sprint and T-Mobile can't compete head to head with the Big Two but need to innovate to survive and that LS2 issues could be resolved but it was politics that got into the way and the market place needs a third competitor, be it, an OS or carrier.

He also mentions that a shortage of spectrum isn't an issue (Good companion piece to this post).
