MTS teaming up with Sprint Nextel

This might potentially be amazing for Manitoba, but MTS and Sprint Nextel signed a deal yesterday to share Sprint's cellphone lineup and technologies with MTS. With Bell, Telus and Sasktel all going HSDPA-based GSM starting the end of this year, MTS might go another route and do a WiMax-based cellphone network, with help from Sprint.. wouldn't that be neat? But for short term, it's helping MTS get better access to cellphones, because their old supplier was Bell. This could mean that if cellphones are rolling soon, maybe we'll see Palm Pre in Manitoba quickly? But it does guarantee a better lineup of cellphones for MTS, more competitive with comparable carriers elsewhere in North America
