Oliver Valente's viewpoint is totally justified IMHO, if Sprint's spectrum utilization is approaching 67% (2/3) for voice calls, in areas where they have only 5 MHz bandwidth. The utilization during the "busy hour" should be considered so as to not decrease QoS. It just makes the Nextwave solution all the more valuable if there are some markets constrained with only 5mhz and others are going essentially unused at 15 mhz. Sprint can use Nextwave in the 5 mhz markets, and if it chooses, build out its 15 mhz markets with EVDO. Why wait for the ephemeral EVDV?
