I wonder: Is anyone good at reading tea leaves? I read it exactly the same. They are going to build 2.5 or 3G system; plans are on track. There is a lot of planning, site acquisition, positioning of base stations, and contracts to negotiate and make. They probably even want to get their production lines ready to fabricate handsets and some of the infra in conjunction with the foreign suppliers.

And, can't they start build out, and even install part of the equipment and plug in the 1x or HDR components as they become available. Makes perfect sense. Does anyone remember how long it actually took Sprint to build and get into operation its first systems? I used to know but can't remember.
