EVDO from Sprint?
Does anyone know when Sprint is going to offer EVDO like Verizon Wireless is starting up February 1st? That new VCAST is gonna give Sprint some competition in the $15.00 unlimited data department.
...
vcast looks very much like what sprint is already offering with the multimedia as well as mobi tv on the multimedia phones
granted the ev-do is a much much faster data speed
...
are you crazy?! VZ has Sprint tossin' cookies after that.... of course, I can talk with experience because I was a Senior Rep at VZ and I'm now with Sprint.. (moved to Oklahoma) the FCC dont take kindly to companies having 100% Top MSA Coverage.... Monopoly is a board game and thats how they'd like to keep it.
...
But the speed makes a huge difference when it comes to video. MobiTV is... jerky - at best. I've seen VCast, and it's real video that's actually watchable.
Plus the video doesn't cost extra, unlike Sprint that nickels-and-dimes you for each and TV channel.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not biased. I just call it like I see it, and there's no simply no question that VCast sets a new standard for mobile video - in terms of both quality and cost.
Sprint will have a golden opportunity to compete when they do launch EV-DO (which should be soon). Hopefully they will respond with something even better. There's nothing quite like a good ol' industry dogfight! 😉
