If anyone was worried about future 4g on Sprint here is a link to the press release
Sprint to pay at least $1 billion to use Clearwire's 4G network through 2012 -- Engadget

Hopefully this will translate into more reliable, wide spread and faster 4g for us.

Hopefully that means they will get some more towers out so we can have better coverage.

In the last month they have covered more then 4 million more people. It is expanding, but they are down to hard to use areas, where local laws are tough to get anything done.

Washington dc is now fully covered and so is all of Baltimore md.

Why is the Metro Detroit area "hard to use"??

As River stated local laws are preventing further build outs in certain cities. I know nothing about Detroit but it is possible that local laws are an obstacle. They have to get city approval to add or build towers/antennas/etc.
