PCS will likely have problems too. There is no substitute for being first. When you assure everyone you are first in all digital networkd for years and then come in second in 3G startup date you cannot escape being measured against all your prior bragging. Further, Sprint has bet the company on 3G and now they are 5 months behind in turning on 3G. They decided to refuse to accept BREW, they have lost out on Q-Chat/Direct connect, and are out working on prprietary Java applicatons which will likely see less spontaneous developer effort than the C++ coded brew apps that can be sold over several networks. It reall looks like being first was theirs to loose and they are proceeding to loose it -- but all of this is speculation. The truth will unfold soon enough. Like starting 2/9 and running for 19 days at the Salt Lake Olympics.
