Sprint To Offer Wi-Fi... With Roaming
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 09:00 AM
This is interesting: Sprint is set to launch a Wi-Fi service on Monday. However, part of their network will be built out of roaming deals. I believe this is the first time I've seen this of a major nationwide network -- dare I hope other Wi-Fi providers start to deploy similar solutions as well?
"Prices are not yet available for the service, which will be launched by the end of this quarter, and charges for the Wi-Fi service can't be integrated into Sprint customers' cellular service bills until late this year. However, the combination of Sprint's own hot spots and those available through roaming deals will create one of the largest networks of hot spots in the country."
