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
phone service will packet based data transmitted over
theInternet (Voice over IP). This also includes your cell
phone.

Their deal with the Defense Department virtually
secures\r\nthey will be the
leading WiMax carrier in the
not-too-distant-future. The article\r\nabove explains how
Sprint will be able to take licenses as needed
from whoever has them\r\nregardless of how fairly they gained
them at FCC auction in the past. \r\n\r\n
With the US Congress,\r\nthe FCC, and the President in
the loop, Sprint will have no problem in
gaining\r\ndominance in WiMax. This is huge and virtually
NO ONE has seen this\r\nDefense Department document or is
aware of it. \r\n\r\n

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.
Their deal with the DefenseDepartment virtually secures they
will be the leadingWiMaxcarrier in the

access the Internet from miles away, rather than a few hundred
feet

\r\n\r\n
There is little question that WiMax will change your
life\r\nforever. We will finally have inexpensive high-speed
universal net access\r\nanywhere we go.\r\n\r\n
One of the greatest features of WiMax is that it can
be\r\nbroadcast for 30 miles. This greater range and higher
bandwidth gives service\r\nproviders the ability to offer
broadband Internet access directly to homes,\r\nwithout having
to worry about the problems that can arise.\r\n\r\n
As a result, there is no need to be
concerned about\r\nconnection problems when laying down a
physical connection over the so-called\r\nlast mile, which
connects homes with service providers\' main networks.
\r\n\r\n
Another effect of these deals? Experts on the subject
judge\r\nthat Sprint could be placing itself in a position to
nearly monopolize the\r\nwireless business. I also wouldn\'t be
surprised if their main competitor\r\nbecomes Google, which is

My New Sprint Phone\r\n\r\n
Last week I just replaced my phone to the new Sprint
EVDO\r\nphone. I chose the Samsung\r\nA940 that is

can\r\ninsert a 1 gigabyte card and have my phone be an MP3

best of all, and the reason I got it, for $15\r\na month I can
