I'll go with "A" but at what point will service providers start stepping on each other's toes with SD-WAN offerings?

I echo Mike here, I am also wondering how Sprint plans on "playing with the big kids" (At&T, Verizon) but still keeping their costs low. It is interesting to see Sprint take this step when it seems that they have only now begun to become a true competitor in the mobile market.

@afwriter - I go with A as well.
Key points, if it enables Sprint to become a major player, as you point out, that is quite powerful.
I like their vision of the advantages in pricing, adaptability, and delivering as a service.
I think that the platforms (utilizing SD-WAN) will outperform the other options and become total delivery systems - which is why I agree with afwriter's questioning if Sprint has the total capability to fill that bill.

@mpouraryan, yes - very true. Maybe they are aware and this is part of their strategy. The ability to now "execute" will be the next threshhold.
Good info - thanks!

The question is whether this is a "subjective" or an objective standard. Customers are funny that way--aren't they?
Onward to November with all its' possibilities

@mpouraryan, if it is for customer service, it needs to be "subjective" - provide value to the customer. Customers aren't going to support things just because they meet a technical standards - it has to deliver new value in ways that benefit the customer's needs and interests - the value of customers.

Totally agree! Customers don't care about the technical side as much. They want something new and exciting for them too.

Exactly! And I guess that's what it's all about. Getting the attention of new customers and bringing them on.

What I would note is how competition is a good thing--and in the end how consumers will win in the process.

Sprint SD WAN
The part about as a service with SD WAN is very valuable for customers because Sprint offers a lot for the company and customers overall.
sd-wan
I think with the next gen SD-WAN is a good plan in the future. It will be work good with their services. People wil have good satifacation rates will be high wit the newest update. The new SD-WAN will be improved alot compared to the older versons and will bring more money, new customers, and newest technolgy to the company. So with the next gen will be great and will be god in the near future.
