I swear, not a day goes by that I don’t get a notification that Cricket is upto something HUGE! Not only do they continue to expand extremely rapidly, they are apparently looking to seriously expand their data service offerings. According to this recent press release entitled, “Cricket Expands With AlcaLu” they purchased upto $126 million dollars of CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO Revision A (Rev. A) technology allowing for high-speed wireless data transfer. As most Cricket nerds know, this can only mean good things. A Cricket insider suggests that we will start seeing evidence of this awesome new data equipment probably late 2007 or early 2008. All I can say is, FINALLY! I just wish I knew what the master plan was.

Note: They recently awarded a similar contract to Nortel for $135 million. Big things poppin!
