I mentioned about Qualcomm’s mobile TV efforts yesterday…now Sprint is in talks with Qualcomm about using that network.
Sprint is also interested in bidding for airwaves or spectrum in a government auction expected to take place next year to ensure it has enough to meet its needs going forward, CEO Len Lauer told Reuters. Sprint already delivers media such as video news clips to mobile phones, but Lauer said it would make more sense to use live TV from a specialized broadcaster rather than hogging its own airspace, which also needs to support voice phone calls.
