Sprint Announces Plans and Partnerships to Roll 4G Out to Many More Cities This Summer
Sprint doesn’t want to have a 4G flop on its hands when America’s first 4G phone, the HTC EVO 4G, comes to market this summer with most customers having limited or no access to 4G coverage, so they are teaming up with Clearwire, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable to get the high-speed mobile network out to even more places. The partnership will provide Sprint customers with access to 4G coverage, and subscribers to the cable services will now be offered mobile internet as part of their service plans. Clearwire will deal exclusively in mobile internet services.
If you live in one of the following places, expect 4G to make its debut this summer (just in time for that EVO 4G):
- Kansas City, KS
- Rochester, NY
- Syracuse, NY
- Orlando, FL
- Tampa, FL
- Jacksonville, FL
- Daytona, FL
- Nashville, TN
- St. Louis, MO
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Merced, CA
- Modesto, CA
- Stockton, CA
- Visalia, CA
- Wilmington, DE
- Grand Rapis, MI
- Eugene, OR
- Yakima and Tri-Cities, WA
That’s a butt-load of 4G, right there. Add that on top of Sprint’s already growing coverage area, and you are starting to get a pretty good amount of 4G across America.
If access to 4G was a swaying factor in whether or not some would take the EVO dive, people in many areas may no longer have to consider that an issue.
