It’s not the simplest concept to understand, but one would think that the CEO of a major tech company that supplies internet to people across the country would be able to get his head wrapped around it.
Today, Sprint held a series of events to tout the capabilities of its just-announced “Spark” network, which enables cellular data speeds of up to 60Mbps — and by the end of 2015 CEO Dan Hesse says he hopes consumer devices could achieve speeds as high at 150Mbps. If Sprint can pull it off it would be, without question, a different kind of wireless service than what we’ve seen before. Different enough, in fact, that it’s worth asking whether Sprint has plans to alter its famously unlimited data plans to accommodate it.
