I wish I had an LTE phone to help you guys test. Still I like this news. There should be a pretty solid deployment here by the time I upgrade my phone.

Yay!

Alright! More good news for Indiana.

I get what your saying. And it seems to make a lot of sense. But Sprint's network costs are all associated with data these days, not voice. And voice usage is going down and down. Your idea, while noble for the customer, would kill Sprint's revenues and make them even more unprofitable. The truth is we are over paying for voice and under paying for data.For Sprint to offer a reduced voice package and lower costs, they would have to increase data prices by the same amount to compensate. Sprint is not in the position financially to make any material changes that would result in less revenue.In order to stay financially viable and continue with Network Vision/LTE Deployment, it must meet its Cash Flow Projections. I hope that Sprint financials improve post Network Vision. I have high hopes for Sprint's future.Robert

This is true. Four phones on our family plan use about 120 min each month out of 1500. It is funny though because two of the phones on our plan use less than 5MB of data, one uses about 1GB, and mine uses 3-4 GB. I think we are a good profit for Sprint, lol.

As far as the article goes, I'd very much rather see more expensive phone and more competitive plans. On Sprint, for example, there is no real benefit to buying your phone outright. I think buying it for full price will allow for better competition as well.People often stick with a carrier for the simplicity of it rather than the value of it. Also, this whole iPhone carrier thing that IMO really hurt the networks would not have happened. If I could eliminate my contract and pay for the whole phone, I would have done that. If Sprint continues to provide good service, I should not need a contract to keep me locked in. This whole industry has evolved into such a mess of who can trick who so I end up not trusting anyone.

What....Is that a Pin Drop I see?

Beat me to it! What does this mean? I haven't seen that pin in a while.

I can't wait. I love the Windows Phone OS and will very likely get one for my next phone. My roommate has the Arrive and it is a great experience. He loves it.

Wonderful! I'm in Muncie but travel to Bloomington all the time. This covers my routes perfectly. It may not have a date but being on a list at all is a great relief. We only saw very basic WiMax coverage, which surprises me because Sprint pushed so hard for NASCAR and Football and well... you know, it's Indiana.
