Sprint’s Deal With Us Government Means Nationwide Unlimited
Wireless
The Department of Defense, working with the FCC, DHS, the
President, and Congress, plans to purchase Sprint Nextel’s iDEN
network
The plan will eventually ensure that everyone
involved in national securitywill beon the same network,
allowing all soldiers, first responders, and chains of command
to be able contact each other in the event of, for example,
multiple simultaneous disasters
One result of this deal will be that Sprint will receive a large
amount bandwidth in the 700 and 800Mhz bands, which it will use
to offer nationwide mobile WiMax broadband services over the
next four to five years
Not long ago, Sprint also announced aplan to offer co-branded
wireless services with cable broadband operators Comcast, Cox,
and Time Warner The two deals together may position cable
operators to compete with telephony giants like SBC, enabling
them to offer fast WiMax connections more cheaply

Dr Mercola’s Comment:So what’s the upshot of all this? First,
WiMax could receive a huge boost, bringing fast, wireless and
cheap Internet access to your home in the not-too-distant-future
WiMax, in case you didn’t know, is a system which is faster than
Wi-Fi, the wireless standard which is currently popular in home
and office networks With WiMax:
- Hundreds and even
thousands of people can be connected with a single transmitter
I have a history of being an early adopter and identifying
trends and responding to them quickly That is one of the
reasons I was able to start this newsletter 8 years ago, long
before the Internet and email became widely adopted
It is easy for me to spot tech trends as this report is one
of the most significant trends in tech developments I have seen
in awhile It will affect everyone reading this Within 5-10
years yourconventionalphone service will not existbecause all

even though Verizon is the current leader in US cell phones,
with Sprint’s deal with the Defense Department and their rollout
of their high speed 3G internet data service it seems clear that
they are poised to be the leading cell carrier in the US, which
is why I am sticking with Sprint as my cell carrier
