    Data Service Revenues: A Case Study (Sprint)

    Sprints WiMAX Strategy (XOHM) ofOpen Access creates new openings in their walled garden.

    , Oct2007

    Google is close to a deal with Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel over its new mobilephone. An agreement is likely to reached wi thin two weeks for launch of a Google phonein the middle of 2008. The central feature of the Google handset will be an openoperating system that will encourage developers to create apps beyond search,interactive communications and social networking.(Wall Street Journal Oct 31, 2007)

    As an open access operator, challenges

    related to security, privacy and billing arecompounded due to complexity of multiplevirtual providers. Billing options to include flat(advanced payment) or transaction based.

    By 2012, sales of unsubsidized devices(non-laptop) are expected to contributesignificantly to the top line. These includehandsets, cameras, printers, Internet tablets,

    PDAs, gaming and video devices.

    Elephant in the Room: How to compensate for ICI?(i.e., Network Roaming Agreements*)

    Mechanisms (e.g., IPSphere) not likely to be in place till 09-10* Sprint exited agreement with Clearwire partly due to lack of a viable ICI
