Sprint's Fixed Wireless Not So Great
from the negative-publicity dept
I'm sure Sprint's not happy about this sort of article. For a few months I've seen all sorts of articles about how great a service Sprint's fixed wireless broadband access was. Apparently, the reality isn't so great. It doesn't seem to work half the time. Sprint is having trouble keeping up with all the complaints, and they're not sure what to do to fix it all. Since they may have to replace all of their infrastructure soon, they don't want to perform upgrades for nothing. I understand why they're doing this - but whatever happened to building something that works before going out and selling it? Companies are in such a rush to get stuff out the door that they seem to have stopped caring completely about quality.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
