Here is my worry. Right now Sprint allows roaming on other CDMA carrier networks. If Verizon (Largest network in the US) isn't around for roaming... what will that mean for future service levels.

Sprint's roaming dies and overall coverage is cut in halfish, or they'd have to cut a deal to roam with ATT which is better than nothing but ATT's coverage isn't as complete as verizon's.

turns out clearwire, who is handling the actual deployment and maintenance of the wimax network says they're ready to jump to LTE if they need to
