Indeed, you are right and no one who is credible would seriously propose a deal between Sprint and Skype or any VoIP provider. But it is quite possible that, with the next generation Nokia IT, you will be able to use Skype or VoIP on Sprint WiMax. Not because of any intention or desire by Sprint for that to happen, but through the backdoor sort to speak because it will be possible with the Nokia IT.
