Sprint’s LTE network nears completion in 2013, it will begin phasing out WiMAX radios and rely solely on its Sprint network. Miller said FreedomPop may revisit the Clearwire deal in 2013 if the carrier can launch its own LTE network as planned, but even then Clearwire has only committed to the same limited LTE footprint it currently covers with WiMAX.
What’s astonishing is that Sprint is throwing the gates of its LTE network wide open to wholesale partners shortly after it launches next week. Typically, operators keep their latest and greatest technologies for themselves – it took years before most carriers started offering MVNOs access to their 3G networks. But according to Miller, Sprint isn’t just being liberal with its network, it’s also being flexible in its pricing policies.
