FYI - WSJ broke this news online yesterday (Tuesday). The post makes it sounds like WSJ was following fortune and nyt, but it was other way around. those pubs just didn't credit wsj for some reason, like others did.

Clearwire too, huh? From my experience, it's all about traffic shaping and port blocking for them.

I would like to see this service take off more to see some strong competition with the LTE tech being thrown around by AT&T and Verizon.

Hopefully the competition would spur even more price-reductions and service improvements in an attempt to lure customers to one standard over the other.

as long as it doesn't concastardize my cell phone service, this WiMax joint venture is looking pretty sweet.

@ghnvt: I didn't buy a lot of it (sadly, I'm still a starving student), but I bought it when it was near its twenty year low a few weeks ago. IF it goes where I'm hoping it will, I might net a few hundred dollars out of it.

It really was my first foray into online trading, so I didn't have much to start with.

@TendoMentis: Good work, if I had the cash I would buy it up in a second. They are trying to get rid of nextel, which is great and now this. Totally good buy.

Hopefully after they put up this new service they will update their software so I can actually use my unlimited internet access service for something other than AIM and poor e-mail interfaces. Also, I'm kinda pissed my phone can't watch youtube yet.

I have a black LG Rumor

Seriously, I'm glad I started buying up Sprint stock when I did a few weeks ago. It's already climbed more than $2/share since I purchased, and this is only going to make it climb higher.
