Sprint to ditch traditional contracts with Xohm, rely on subscriptions
Filed under: Cellphones
We’ve yet to find an average joe (or jane) who just adores that two-year agreement they signed to receive a single subsidized device on day one, and while Sprint hasn’t been one to let folks off the hook early, it is trying a slightly different approach with Xohm. Reportedly, the carrier will be relying on “subscriptions,” which will enable customers to save more when paying for larger chunks of time, while not forcing them into anything long-term. On the same token, this also means that you’ll likely be paying full price for any hardware. Notably, the outfit’s CTO also made clear that Xohm “would not be backed by what the industry calls service-level agreements,” so don’t count on any kind of minimum bandwidth guarantee. As for pricing, the numbers are apparently still being worked, but it was suggested that the service would “probably be based on tiers.”[Via TechDirt, image courtesy of BroadbandReports] Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
