Right now the contract for Sprint roaming Verizon's network is for 1x only...aka you can't even roam Verizon's 3g...so I doubt they will do that for 4g...

That said I really wish they do what they did in Russia...all the 6 carriers agreed to team up to build out their networks together...

I honestly see this separation to be pathetic and wasteful..in NYC for example..for landlines there is only 1 company, verizon (with exception of like 1 other line but 99.9% is verizon), and all the other lease it competitively. Same for electricity and many other things...

I don't see why we need our carriers to be so far apart from each others..cellphones are VITAL for many things..and if you think about it..if ALL carriers divided up the USA build out and leased spectrum from each other we could have 100% coverage of the entire USA.. instead now we have 5 antennas from 5 different carriers covering the SAME areas..

Then all the spare spectrum can be used to allow for more bandwidth and other services...
