I don't know if Sprint wants Clear to sell spectrum (especially to those two) although if the revenue situation were to get dire, then they may have too. I think Sprint wants Clear to get viable and get wholesale and MVNO LTE agreements so it can make it on its own. Sprint already can and has signed up several groups for combined Clear LTE and its own CDMA services which it is allowed to do under their T&C.

Just from my informal research this is how I see updates as it use to be for phones. This is in rank order from fastest to slowest. Google - Nexus line (Although Google gets a big fail with the Nexus S line) HTC Motorola Samsung LG & everyone else

Good place to unwind and good members to share thoughts and comments.

For those of us who have rooted or for those who are interested why Cyanogen has done things the way they do, They had a Q&A session and answered a bunch of general and technical questions that gives a better overview on how things are done. http://www.androidcentral.com/required-reading-cyanogenmod-team-qa https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DFgHAi7-xkXiRdU5S6WXsqx26lzmiI60tntQhqsz6Js/preview?pli=1&sle=true

I've heard that as well, and since Sammy has gone away from Qualcomm that radio issues have increased. Most of the complaints I've heard have in fact been from GNex owners. I'm thinking I may have to give closer scrutiny to the GNex and GSlll when they are launched since those were my top two choices to upgrade.

Clear has some interesting options before it. I think Sprint (IMO) would like to keep Clear a separate entity so it can make these type of wholesale deals with its spectrum and become a stand alone firm without Sprint providing life support. Although with all the back and forth last year between the two, I think at times it would be easier to buy Clear and be done with it.

Safety first

Jeff Foster Sprint 4G Rollout Update Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 12:18 PM MDT The forerunner of Clearwire was a Texas based company then known as Clearwire Technologies, Inc. Clearwire Technologies raised at least $100 million and used it to acquire spectrum allocated to various educational institutions known as EBS or Educational Broadband Service. In 2007, Clearwire and Sprint Nextel announced a partnership to accelerate deployment of WiMAX technology across the US. In 2008, Sprint's new CEO Dan Hesse started serious discussions about forming a joint venture between the two companies in the hopes of bringing in outside funding. Sprint owns 54% of the firm; a consortium of Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Intel, Google and Bright House Networks investing $3.2 billion and owning the balance. Jump to today, and CLEAR 4G is available in 35 of the top 40 MSAs in the country covering 130 million people. Clearwire has had its shares of setbacks in the past several years with the promise of WiMax fading and the explosive growth of the newest 4G standard – LTE. Even with this impediment, Clearwire has something to crow about. Clearwire TD-LTE is headed to some of the highest demand areas first Clearwire CFO Hope Cochran, speaking at a conference sponsored by Goldman Sachs, said her company has the resources that even the top national wireless carriers should envy. Cochran pointed out that Clearwire's network usage jumped more than 700% in 2011. The important thing to note here is that most of that data torrent was driven not by new subscribers, but by existing subscribers greatly increasing their data usage. "Customers are finding more applications and downloading more videos," she said. This, according to Cochran, will be the Achilles' heel for AT&T and Verizon, as well as for Sprint. Sprint will launch its LTE network in mid-2012. Cochran estimates that the LTE network that Sprint will deploy will be able to handle only 5.6 terabytes of data per site per year. AT&T and Verizon, which operate in a different frequency range, will have 22 terabytes per site per year capacity. Clearwire's network carries 22 terabytes today. The company has ~16,000 WiMax cell sites and about one-half of them carry 80 percent to 90 percent of Clearwire's network traffic. Clearwire plans to overlay its WiMAX network with around 8,000 TD-LTE cell sites--Cochran said the move would allow Clearwire to put LTE capacity in areas where its network usage is the greatest. Come and get it boys! Soup's on!!! Clearwire is anticipating to have a tremendous amount of surplus capacity available. So when the big carriers run out of their capacity -- and Cochran thinks that will be sooner rather than later -- the big mobile carriers will have few options other than to divert their LTE traffic to Clearwire's network. Clearwire's future is still very much dependent on its relationship with Sprint. If Clearwire can manage to keep its head above water until more regionals, and ultimately Verizon and AT&T reach the end of their spectrum, the network may indeed be able to reap rewards from the insatiable needs of the major carriers' subscribers. As Cochran told the conference, "We see our own trends, and that is the appetite for data is tremendous." Sources: Fierce Wireless, Fool.com, Wikipedia

I'm hoping as well. Since Sprint has a cozy relationship with Google, which is buying Motorola, I'm looking to see if we can start getting more Moto phones headed our way instead of the majority going to Verizon.

The Motorola Photon one of the better phones released in a while and the first Sprint has seen since the RAZR (Non-Nextel) is being EOL'ed next month. Those of you who've been sitting on the fence had better decide if you want to pull the trigger. Hopefully Moto doesn't forget it's promise to update it to ICS. http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/03/motorola-photon-4g-and-lg-marquee-eold-whats-up-next/

This is why I call either business or account services. Your more likely to get a outsourced rep late at night or during the weekend. Although their english is better than from India.

All we need now is for Google to get some traction for Google Wallet and exploit NFC for other uses.

There doomed if they do that. India and the Phillipines are just not that good since thay have no knowledge of how things work and just read of scripts.
