Don't ask me for any more about this, because this snippet is all I know
about it:

<quote source="chi.eats">
Went to ribfest in naperville tonight. Sprint BB has a van there with a huge
pole and attenna demoing the service.

Talked to the "general manager" who said within 14 days or so Sprint will be
expanding their boundaries west of where they are now. Said they got FCC
licensing approval to do so.

They didn't have a map of the new area and I only inquired about the western
boundary.

I post this only becasue I know at least a couple folks have complained
about being a little too far out for this service.  It sounds like they're
getting an okay to increase the power, so it *could* help if you were just
too far out.  If you're obstructed, or on the wrong side of the hill, well,
sorry 'bout that.
