According to AT&T, They Will be Ready for SWSW

"Happy March! The super hip and trendy South-by-Southwest music and tech festival is coming up this month, and like many tech conventions these days, AT&T is working on a plan to keep their network up and running as thousands of iPhones descend on Austin, Texas to send around voice, texts, and data."

You may or may not remember but last year at SXSW the performance of the AT&T network was less than stellar. You can visit the GigaOM site to see just how they plan on beefing up the coverage and it also goes into some detail about cellular networks and what it takes to keep one functioning.

4G Comes to Austin

"Sprint on Monday launched its 4G mobile broadband in two Texas cities, Austin, and San Antonio. As before, the WiMAX network promises speeds between 3Mbps to 6Mbps for downloads in real-world use, which should bring VoIP, video and other tasks that are normally too data-intensive for 3G networks."

The Sprint expansion continues, adding Austin to the 4G coverage areas. They only have one plan, for $70.00 USD per month for unlimited access on the 4G network or 5GB limit on the 3G access. If you are a traveler, you can get a "day pass" and access 4G for $10.00 USD per day. If curious, you can check out the coverage map here. Too bad I'm just at the outskirts of Portland or I might try this.
