Denver is Ready For Sprint 4G WiMAX Coverage, Just In Time for Christmas

It is looking like it’s going to be a beautiful Christmas in Denver, and it’s not because of the weather. The city is set to be lit up with Sprint 4G signals. There are currently two 4G phones available from Sprint, and both would make lovely holiday gifts for a loved one.

It certainly is about time that more of America had a chance to appreciate the 4G services that Sprint has to offer. At this time, 4G has mostly dominated the coasts, leaving the rest of the country with less-than-speedy (or, in some areas, nonexistent) wireless networks. Bringing 4G Wireless Networks to a city like Denver seems to be a step in the right direction.

Sprint utilizes the same 4G network that Clearwire provides for them; Sprint is the majority shareholder of Clearwire with a 54% stake in the company. Whether or not Clearwire’s mediocre earnings recently will impact Sprint’s ability to maintain a steady hold over its customers is yet to be determined.

Sprint’s competitors, including Verizon and AT&T, are hot on their heels with aspirations to acquire as many 4G network sites. Unfortunately, however, being years late to the game does take its toll on consumer potential. For instance, consider the people in Denver who want 4G services on their phones. Verizon will not be able to offer that until they put out a 4G phone. So, for the time being, Sprint seems to be ahead of the game.
