Slowly but surely Sprint is starting to open up about their LTE game plan and we must say, we’re liking what we’re seeing. A recent interview with Sprint’s director of consumer product marketing, Trevor Van Norman revealed that Sprint plans on including Near-Field-Communications in almost all of their upcoming LTE smartphones. The only possible exception may be low-end bargain bin handsets, which may not include the extra hardware to eliminate additional costs.

Taking somewhat of a gamble, Van Norman went on to say “we’re making a big bet, there’s no learning curve with NFC.” Sprint is currently a major Google Wallet partner, which most likely explains this strategic move. Pairing a brand new next-gen network with the potential future of retail cash exchange, will hopefully give the Now Network an early jump on the competition.
