GPON for small cells, maybe, but DOCSIS? Seems kinda crazy to me.
It's not that crazy if you think about it.
If it can get Sprints coverage up to where it needs to be in a hurry, maybe they can stem some of the bleeding as a stopgap measure until they can afford to take the time to run real backhaul.
As it stands, if they wait around to run fiber out to every place they need it, they'll be bankrupt by the time it happens. They need to do this nationwide and now, not just in one city.
