Sprint Wireless, Number Three and Falling Quickly!

I would not be terribly surprised if Sprint Wireless merges with either AT and T or Verizon Wireless. They are currently and respectively number one and two in the market.
Sprint Wireless continues to loose subscribers hand over fist.

In the third quarter of last year, Sprint Wireless lost 337,000 subscribers. Which was an alarming number for the company. How did they react? What did they do? Apparently not enough. Sprint Wireless has reportedly lost more than a half of million customers in the fourth quarter. Their loss is their competitor's gain. AT and T is the number one wireless company in the country and not ironically have added approximately 2.5 million new subscribers in their fourth quarter!

Sprint Wireless Subscribers To Get NFL Plays Live!!!

Sprint Wireless has cut a deal to allow wireless subscribers to see key plays in NFL football games live. Sprint subscribers will be able to watch drives inside the 20 yard line and other key plays on their mobile phones as they happen, the company said Monday.

The deal calls for the NFL Network to produce a live, three-hour program that will be streamed live on NFL.com and to Sprint subscribers. It will include both game highlights and live coverage when a team enters the red zone and at other "critical moments" in a game.

"Sprint continues to drive innovation with NFL fans," said Steve Gaffney, Sprint's director of sports sponsorships. "Fans tell us they want to have the ability to watch live NFL game broadcasts on their phones, and we're enabling them to do that."

The service is available free to Sprint customers with newer phones who subscribe to the Power Vision network, the company's high-speed phone-based Internet service. Sprint said more than 1 million people had downloaded its NFL Mobile software.

There Is A New Wireless Alternative Available For Sprint Wireless Customers!!!

Sprint Wireless has released the Sprint PCS Data Link for Wireless WAN. The service, available to wireless customers, connects end user's business WANs that use wireless technology for primary access. It also acts as a wireless backup.

Sprint PCS Data Link provides wireless remote access for mobile workers. Now, with Sprint PCS Data Link for Wireless WAN, businesses can take advantage of this same technology as a means for primary access or a backup for wireless access. Whether the service is used to replace a 56kbps frame relay connection, as an alternative to DSL, or as a backup, the security, and performance of Sprint's CDMA wireless technology will help meet critical operational needs, said Sprint representatives.

This service establishes wireless connections to multiple WAN solutions, including Sprint Link frame relay or IPSec VPNs. With a Sprint-approved wireless modem, users get average speeds of 50kbps to 70kbps over the Sprint network.

Sprint is upgrading its wireless high-speed data solutions running on the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network with Revision A technology, which reaches more than 206 million people nationwide. The company expects most of that network to be upgraded by the end of 2007. The upgrade to Revision A technology provides faster speeds to enable end users' voice, video and mobile commerce applications.
