Verizon's next-gen PTT is not QChat {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 25th 2008 2:53AM It almost sounds like Qualcomm is saying to Sprint "yes, you can have exclusive use of the 'Q-Chat' PTT system we developed" and to Verizon "you can use this PTT system we developed, just don't call it 'Q-Chat' - that's Sprint's name for it."
Actually sounds a bit shady. :(
Google to acquire Sprint Nextel for Mobile WiMax? {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 12th 2007 1:54PM If the Goog bought Sprint, there is nothing saying that Sprint would have to remain focused on selling their own hardware - but could instead open up the US wireless market to the idea of a wireless carrier bering simply a SERVICE provider with HARDWARE coming from any vendor...
Possibly the "New Sprint" could offer a couple of basic models from one of those vendors for those who want to "one-stop-shop," but for anything beyond the basic, pick up the mobile at your favorite retailer, and change 'em at will.
The simplifying of the service contracts and billing might even be enough to reduce costs and end user prices...
If Sprint were to become the unquestioned best priced and best customer service carrier, the others would have to follow just to stay in the market.
Google Sprint could be very interesting.
