I don't know how much I can get into it, but they have swapped spectrum in
some of the less busy cities for more in some busy cities just to keep up
with voice demand. I'm not saying it's maxed out, but it's already set aside
for current traffic.

This article says:

"1xEV-DV, with anticipated commercial deployment starting in the 2006
timeframe..."

So the manufacturer's estimate, which is typically optimistic, is that
carriers will *begin* to offer 1xEV-DV about 3 years from now. Yawn.

Sprint's busiest market is NYC, and they only have 50% of their
spectrum allocated.

Qualcomm will have their chips out next year, Nokia is sampling theirs
now. I don't think 2006 is unreasonable.

That's one of the ones they swapped for I believe. Even so, the way sprint
operates, if they can't do it in every market they won't do it in any. This
is one of their core philosophies.
