Carrier Wars: the Sprint Now Network

The Boy Genius Report has been doing something NO ONE else has and that's pool independent data from all across the U.S. from its member base and actually (gasp) independently audit 3G download speeds. Well, the result's are in kids and they will probably shock most 'pro-sumers'. The Now Network beat out ALL competition for having the United States of Americas fastest 3G network by AN AVERAGE of 433kbps for an AVERAGE download speed of 1361kbps!

Of course, as many of you know, I am writing an article on the State of Wireless: 3G & 4G and this story will have some relevant information to contribute that further backs up what I have uncovered thus far in my investigation.

Tweet, NOW on Sprint Speed!

I came across Sprints new vanity wireless 4G MVNO homepage today & it features the cute little Tweet Bird from the cool 'Now Network' commercials! I think its neat that Sprint was the first carrier to embrace Twitter and along with Buzz About Wireless engage in open, positive dialogue with its community and clients. Also, again, Sprint is the only carrier in the United States to offer a "TAKE BACK THE BEEP" program.

So, enjoy the cute little Twitter Bird, share some Tweets and check out the cool video describing the new 4G service.

I am working on a an Editorial on the State of Wireless, what real world speeds are for all four carriers and good, sound data (with fancy graphs) to show it all off. To this day, no one has written a fully factual article on the Wireless Industry and I am going to. It will be biased, it will be opinionated and it will all be factual and layed out clearly. I am not on any ones payroll and I have no sponsors, so I feel I can really shake things up a tad with this.

Thoughts, feedback, suggestions? I would love to incorporate them into the piece!
