As both Verizon and AT&T rapidly build out their 4G LTE networks in preparation for Apple’s launch of the next iPhone this fall, Sprint Nextel is in a very distant third place. The big question is can it keep up? The answer depends on a number of items, including what its customers want most. Do they want 4G LTE speed? Or do they want Sprint, even though it’s on the slower 3G net? That’s the big question.
The answer is somewhere in the middle. Some Sprint customers will drift to Verizon and AT&T. The question is how many? And will this become the next Sprint problem?
