School and nonprofit customers stop Sprint from shutting down WiMAX

Sprint

Sprint announced back in 2014 that it will shut down its WiMAX data network today, November 6th, 2015. That’s not going to happen now, though, because a Massachusetts court has put a stop to the carrier’s plans, according to Recode. Judge Janet Sanders has decided that Mobile Beacon and Mobile Citizen — groups that provide WiMAX connection to schools and nonprofit organizations — have been able to at least show that they can prove shutting down the network completely constitutes a breach of contract on Sprint’s end.
