Sprint officials reasoned that colleges would flock to the free version of the software, Mobile Learn. And because only Sprint customers could use the software with Android, BlackBerry and Palm phones, college students would have a powerful incentive to sign up with Sprint.
Really? Students would "flock to the free version of the software" ... if you've used the software, I don't quite know if that is the "f word" I'd use to describe it.
Sprint asked a judge to bar Blackboard from allowing its free iPhone and iPad versions to use wireless networks.
The exact amount is unclear, but Sprint will eventually owe more than $50-million that it has not already paid, Blackboard said in a court document. Sprint must pay Blackboard $2 per month for every student who has downloaded Mobile Learn for Sprint, in addition to millions in other fees, the document says.
