As you all know, Sprint is the first United States carrier to offer 4G for their mobile devices. Sprint has chosen WiMax for their 4G, while Verizon has chosen LTE (long-term-evolution) for their 4G standard. T-Mobile and AT&T have gone the way of HSPA+, which claim download speeds equal to Sprint’s WiMax, but are not classified as a 4G network.
There was some news a couple months ago about T-Mobile maybe merging with Sprint, but nothing that would hint a merger has happened, until now. T-Mobile is reportedly interested in investing in Clearwire, Sprint’s partner in crime on the path to rolling out WiMax. This would give Clearwire the funds necessary to roll out its 4G network. T-Mobile has no current plans for 4G, and as I stated before, has opted for HSPA+ so what happens next will be interesting to say the least
T-Mobile may help Sprint’s Clearwire with WiMax funding
