Although the nation’s No. 3 carrier has announced plans to launch a WiMAX network and is looking at an array of options to help drive the technology into ubiquity, Sprint Nextel Corp. today announced that its CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Revision A network continues to expand and now covers more than 203 million people nationwide. The carrier added that the service is available in more than 10,000 cities and 900 airports.
Not to be outdone, Verizon Wireless responded with some numbers of its own claiming its Rev. A network covers 208 million pops across the country.
In other news, Sprint Nextel announced it will be expanding its Right Plan Promise from three to six months, enabling customers to make changes to their service plans within the first six months of new service without requiring a contract renewal.
