After much hassle and several false starts and disconnects in getting in touch with the right department in Sprint, I spoke to a woman in technical support in the group that supports 3G data cards. She said: - public IP addresses are used - static IP available for $3/mo additional - maximum 3G data plan is 5GB/mo of data transfer, retail reate, $60/mo (which is typically cheaper than your typical ADSL/IDSL or ISDN service cost) Sam Crooks -----Original Message----- From: Seth Mattinen [mailto:sethm@rollernet.us] Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:13 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Looking for AT&T / Verizon / Sprint WWAN service impressions- on or off-list replies welcome Charles Wyble wrote:

I'm considering use of AT&T / Verizon / Sprint WWAN services and the Cisco 3G router interface cards/integrated module in C880 routers for
primary or backup WAN network connectivity for routers.
I haven't used the integrated cards with cisco gear. However I do have 300+ cards deployed throughout the United States (EVDO USB modems on Linux boxes).
I'm looking for information from users of these services on the following: - addressing - Do these WWAN services use dynamic, PPPoE or static IP
assignment typically? Any of the 3? All? - is static IP assignment available?
We have static IP assignment for our Verizon cards. Sprint cards aren't static.
I received an offlist response indicating Sprint now offers static. ~Seth
