Wimax does rival landline internet providers but the problem is infrustructure and education... The technology is already there. The problem is implementation and that costs $$$, which Sprint definitely does not have.
Just my opinion, Sprint probably needs to focus on their core business and improve their churn. If they keep on losing customers at an alarming rate, what bank is going to loan them money in this type of economy?
If they get any help, it would be highly unlikely to be from Uncle Sam. The only help I can see is if some company like Google wants to jump immediately into the wireless industry (which the have hinteed in the past) and gobble Sprint up. But even that might be a long shot.
