BTW, spoke to Sprint cust svc and this time apparently got a knowledgeable rep. She said from her "tool" she can see 338 (or was it 388?) towers being actively worked on, but that realistically, it's going to be a few more months before our market goes 4G everywhere. This was a refreshing bit of honesty. When I was in Best Buy a few months back, a Sprint rep (from the corp office, not just a sales rep) said they were working on towers everywhere and we'd be getting text messages in mid-July indicating the roll-out. Bucdenny:Thanks for spelling out all the process with licensing/permits for back-haul, etc. It would seem that any cellular org of this size would already be familiar with the processes for each city and would have been prepared for the red tape, backlog/backhaul issues and would have planned accordingly. Not bashing, just observing... I had a 4g-capable phone 2+ yrs ago on my first contract and never had 4g locally the entire two years... but thanks to educational posts about NV in this forum, I renewed and upgraded the phone. Here's to 4g in 3 months, eh?
