    Nobody is doing WiMax but Sprint. Verizon and AT&T are going LTE.

    From what I saw, I could easily be wrong all of this comes from analyst and speculators, the combined Sprint/T-Mobile would still be third.

    As usual, is Sprint for sale? I can offer to buy anything but somebody has to sell it.
    If there's nothing in it for them they won't.

    Why would any company really want to combine two different companies with different structures?
    Verizon took over Alltel. There's was no "work" involved. I know people that had Alltel and nothing happened. Their bill started coming from Verizon.
    With this acquisition they'd had to convert to GSM or CDMA or run two different systems. Money or money.

    One article starts:
    CEO Dan Hesse was counting on the Palm Pre to save his company, well, that failed.
    hmm.. well, OK..
    I doubt Sprint was counting on the Pre since they didn't even really push the phone.
    Sprint is getting any number of phone soon that will surely out sell the Pre. I'm dern sure the Pixi will. The Hero might be close, The InstinctHD (anything with HD has to be a winner right?), The InstinctQ, The Touch Pro2, once the price drops to something tolerable (although the Touch Pro never dropped).
    The any mobile plan, that puts smartphones on plans distinctly cheaper than other carriers and could bring over quite a few especially with all the new phones.
    So that statement doesn't seem to carry any weight.

    T-Mobile is already in a "combining" with Orange. sure it's Europe but are they really going to start another "merger" before one is finished?

    Sources said Deutsche Telekom (DT) could submit a bid for Sprint
    Notice the bold print, It not will. They could or they could not.

    If it happened, it "might' solve Sprint's money problems.

    IMHO Totally agree and that is what I was thinking about, cash

    stocks are $4,15 the lowest to others carriers, something to think.

    Well guess what, Clearwire just might drop WiMax and go to LTE.

    This is gettin very complicated stuff, since WiMAx and LTE are almost the same. Be interesting to see what happens, cause if Sprint does get bought over the company that is buying them is LTE dedicated.

    Pre so easy to use even a caveman can use it.

    between Wimax and LTE , what are the technical differences for a better network service?

    So here's the crazy thing about WiMax and LTE, which you might not realize from all the smack talk coming out of Verizon and AT&T. I'm probably going to blow your mind right now: "They both use the same fundamental technology," says Barry West, Clearwire's President and Chief Architect. They both use orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing access and they're both IP (internet protocol) based. More simply, you can kind of think of the difference between WiMax and LTE as a software, not a hardware thing (kind of like Macs and PCs using the same Intel chip). Alcatel-Lucent, who makes the 4G wireless hardware, is actually "building hardware that is on a common platform," Paul Mankiewich A-L's Wireless CTO told us. In fact, West told us, at "some point in the future it's possible to harmonize" LTE and WiMax, it just "requires people to be willing to do that."
    Here's what the fundamental difference is: Time division duplexing versus frequency division duplexing. Sounds complicated! But it's not. AT&T Labs VP of Architecture Hank Kafka explained it like this: "TDD is like CB radios or walkie-talkies—when one person is talking, the other person can't talk." The same channel is used for downstream and upstream, so the transmission is divided up over very tiny increments of time. Clearwire's West says they currently use a 2/3 downstream and 1/3 upstream split, so 2/3 of the time, you're swallowing data, and 1/3 of the time, you're spitting it. With LTE, Kafka says "it's more like a modem or phone conversation." It separates the available bandwidth into two parts—one operating downstream full time, and one operating upstream—so "you both can talk back and forth at the same time."

    It is like a 2 ways network flows working together now, with a future hardware possibility develope to harmonize it better. Great.
