Sprint Nextel making plans for 2.5 GHz

Sprint Nextel and other mobile voice and data carriers are each deciding on the best approach for next generation development of their networks. At the end of this summer Sprint Nextel plans to announce its plans for 2.5 GHz or 4G mobile communications technology. The company licenses 85 percent of the 2.5 GHz band, and the FCC has required Sprint Nextel have 4G service offerings for 15 million Americans by 2009. The article at Unstrung gives a detailed account of the 4G development options, and InfoWorld outlines the sentiment of the major carriers for 2.5 GHz.
