I wonder if Sprint has a big deal with the Orthopedic companies based in Warsaw, IN??? There are some big medical device companies in that small town??? Maybe why an otherwise small rural town gets LTE??? I

Warsaw is getting done because it is part of the Ft. Wayne/South Bend market. Deployment is done over an entire market, not city specific. Sprint has broken their 97 markets into hundreds of communities in their press releases so it can compete with AT&T and Verizon in how they have planned their press releases to be city instead of market specific.This is much like how Ocala, Gainesville and St. Augustine will be under development at the same time as Jacksonville, because they are all apart of the same market.Robert

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if this was the towards the top of the list because of this. AT&T and Verizon have done the same in the past. I think overall Sprint knows this market was severely underdeveloped by their former affiliate and they appear to be attempting to make it right. One step at a time.

This is FANTASTIC news. iPCS really left this market in severe disrepair and these changes are very welcome news for me (I live in the area).

It would be interesting to see if any sites get added here as most of this is a former affiliate market. I can vouch that iDEN coverage is MUCH greater in the area than CDMA. I understand this has a lot to do with 800 MHz vs. 1900 MHz but as you can see cell site density isn't that great in some areas, most of the time the sites aren't even in the populated areas or along the state highways. I basically don't even try to use my phone when I'm in N. Indiana. Which is a lot.

Happy to see the two sites covering my hometown (Sturgis) are on the list of the 'initial' towers! Sprint had 3G here in 2007 before Verizon (then Alltel) and AT&T only activated 3G here two WEEKS ago.
