The news just broke: Sprint has officially joined the WiMAX forum.
In an effort to meet high demand for fast Internet, Sprint is added to the forum family as a Principal Member.
"We support the forum's infrastructure goals," explained Oliver Valente, vice president - Technology Development, Sprint. "Standardization and certification will unlock significant opportunities for service providers and equipment makers while bringing new high-speed connectivity benefits for users. We are anxious to conduct technical trials as test equipment becomes available, as WiMAX is complementary to Sprint's high-speed communications portfolio, and we are looking at WiMAX solutions for a number of future applications."
Perhaps this is a motivating force for wireless competitors to join the forum as well. Who will be next?
