Sprint hammers out WiMAX roaming agreements in Taiwan, Jamaica
Most of us our still concerned with getting good 4G coverage domestically, much less internationally, but Sprint's taking things to the next level for globetrotters by hammering out a couple global roaming agreements for users of its WiMAX modems. The carrier has inked new deals with Jamaica's Digicel and Taiwan's Global Mobile that will allow travelers to sign up for 24-hour passes -- but as with any international roaming situation, pricing is the tricky part, and Sprint's yet to announce how that's going to play out here. Devices using the Sprint SmartView Connection Manager software are compatible, meaning the 250U and U600 modems are on board; an exact launch date is yet to be determined, unfortunately, so if you're a subscriber with a trip to either of those countries in the next few days, our deepest condolences. Follow the break for the full press release.
