185 million + 115 milltion = 100 million??

"Sprint Nextel plans to offer WiMax coverage to 185 million users in its 50 largest market areas in the United States, while Clearwire plans to give coverage to another 115 million people. Both companies predict that together, they will offer mobile WiMax network access to about 100 million people by the end of 2008." I think that should be 85 million and 15 million, yes?

100 million by 2008, more later

No. The two companies plan to offer mobile WiMax coverage to 100 million people by 2008. Sprint Nextel and Clearwire predict that in the long-term they will cover 185 million and 115 million people, respectively.

sprint/nextel service

sprint and nextel needs to improve service to more areas first. i've been a nextel customer a few years now and i lose service several times a day due to low signal or no signal. i can rarely use my nextel at home as service is so lousy.

voip

that's why Sprint will deploy its own voip and by having a wide wifi coverage nationally, your dropped calls are going to be history. Not to mention the cost of their voice and data service will go down. As long as they can keep the problems to a minimum and are able to provide good customer service, Sprint will take over the wireless market. If only for a brief period of time.
