Rumor: Sprint to Offer Unlimited Plan for iPhone

September 9, 2011

According to a Bloomberg report, Sprint will offer the iPhone next month with unlimited data service plans, according to people "familiar with the matter." The country's third-largest carrier (behind AT&T and Verizon) will begin selling the next version of the iPhone, iPhone 5 in mid-October. If the sources cited are correct, Sprint would be the only company in the country to offer iPhone with an unlimited data service for a flat fee. Naturally this would certainly help them draw customers from AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

Spokespeople for both Apple and Sprint declined comment on the rumor.

To prepare for the launch of iPhone, Sprint has reportedly postponed the September debut of a rival smartphone that uses 4G wireless technology.. For now it seems like Sprint is the only mobile broadband carrier that could be considered "net neutrality" friendly.

No doubt they mean unlimited ironically.

AT&T's next move will be to buy Sprint and remove whatever threat this unlimited data plan poses to their goal of price gouging over Internet usage.

Enjoy your corporate overlords, America.

 

You're of course welcome here in Europe, granted you leave your republicans behind.
