Hi Andrew...even before the spectrum gets transferred, will USC and Sprint open up their 1xRTT and EvDO networks to all subscribers? I noticed that my phone was roaming yesterday on USC, something that doesn't ever happen unless I'm underground on the train, even though I was in an area where Sprint certainly has coverage. I can't imagine that Sprint would pay any further roaming fees to USC after the deal closes, so would they make software changes so that all USC towers appear to be SprintCom so that Sprint phones do not report roaming? I updated my PRL yesterday also, and it jumped ahead 2 versions...kind of unusual. I certainly wouldn't mind some more EvDO capacity...
(UPDATED) Sprint-USCC spectrum deal: Sprint gets 20 MHz broader in the "City of Broad Shoulders"
