Sprint announced last week that the company has canceled plans to carry the Sprint 4G BlackBerry PlayBook which would have run on Sprint’s highspeed WiMAX network. Paget Alves, president of Sprint’s business markets group, said “It’s an interesting concept, it just hasn’t caught on with business customers as much as they would like.” Although the cancellation of the Sprint 4G BlackBerry seems like another black eye for RIM, I believe this decision has a lot more to do with Sprint’s bad bet on WiMAX when the rest of earth is going to LTE.
