Sprint’s LTE network followed, and it was set to be officially discontinued on June 30th, 2022. Unlike the company’s 3G network, which our former executive editor Dieter Bohn appropriately honored in his Sprint eulogy, there’s little reason to lament its demise. Sprint was late adopting LTE after first betting on WiMAX, and as a result, its LTE network lagged well behind the competition by the time it was operational. It was honestly quite horrible.
