Not really, have a look at the coverage maps. All you see in most of the
country is just a narrow ribbon overlaying the interstate highways.

Which is partially accurate. OTOH, Sprint has outstanding coverage along the
lake in Lake County, Ohio, and the Lake County (Mentor, Ohio) store didn't even
show coverage there when I lived in the area and set up service back in 2000.
And they SHOULD show the lakefront as covered, since I lived in Mentor on the
Lake and had a Sprint-owned cell tower sitting two minutes from my house, and
no more than a quarter-mile south of the lake.
And I had solid coverage in Ashtabula County, Ohio, way off the freeway.
So, I'd argue that you are correct in MANY cases, but not in ALL cases as
evidenced by the situation I just described.

Even if you do have "several more," it *still* doesn't change the fact that
his statement is substantially accurate.
