Sprint Entices Mobile Workers With Free Card
The US wireless market has a history of being driven by business users first and consumers second. We see it everyday in all the Wi-Fi stories. Yet, enterprises aren't jumping aboard because the ROI still isn't there. Sprint is trying to change that by enticing customers with a free data card if they sign up for a 2 year service plan for unlimited 1xRTT at $99 per month. Even with the free card that monthly fee still seems high. Plus speed, coverage, and service price are more critical issues than hardware costs.
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.
