"Connected devices are the single biggest opportunity for Sprint and other carriers, according to Dan Hesse, chief executive officer of the Overland Park, Kansas-based wireless company. In our conversation it became clear as day that Sprint’s future lies in being a wireless data provider.
Hesse is pretty enthusiastic about the opportunities machine-to-machine communications offer a company like Sprint. 'Machine-to-machine (M2M) represents the largest growth opportunity for wireless network providers,' said Hesse. 'It would help increase wireless penetration by between 200 percent to 300 percent.'"
