That may well be, however Sprint has no history of taking any action 
while Verizon definitely does. I have been using Sprint as my sole 
internet provider for over two years now with the card plugged into a 
KR-1 router and online 24/7.
The next few years will definately be interesting in the business with 
WiMax , LTE and other technologies. We should see some incredible speeds 
over wireless connection.
