Sprint Nextel, already leading the pack in terms of its mobile television and music download 3G-based offerings, is already looking towards the future with 4G services and data speeds. With the Nextel acquisition just now closed by Sprint, it has an inordinate amount of spectrum holdings in the 2.5GHz range in which to deploy, well, just about anything it wants.In other words, Sprint Nextel is primed and positioned to leapfrog against the other larger U.S. mobile operators -- Verizon Wireless, Cingular Wireless and T-Mobile USA -- with spectrum efficiency, advanced data and entertainment services...and revenue streams. No wonder Sprint Nextel won't be participating in the upcoming advanced wireless services FCC auctions -- it already has spectrum, the means and the motive to move forward.
