The information that I could find on the web about Sprint's new '3G' high-speed data service was a little short on solid information, so I spoke with Kevin Packingham, Senior Manager of Business Marketing for SprintPCS' new Vision service. I sought him out because Ubiquitous, affordable high speed wireless data services are something of a holy grail for tech-savvy road warriors like myself, so I received each morsel of information about Sprint's new service with great interest. Mr. Packingham spoke over the phone and he clarified many of the questions that I had about the new service.

i don't think most people who use the new network will even know what technology makes it work. 3G is being used as brand name. No one I know will go out a buy a phone/plan because it uses CDMA, GSM, 3G or 9.3G. They may on the other hand look at the literature, and go with the plan that is cheapest or maybe the fasted data speed... If I'm not making a point let me know I'll try and think of a better way to say that.
