Esta semana se supo gracias a The Verge que la proveedora Sprint y Google llegaron a un acuerdo donde Sprint sería un vendedor autorizados de Google Apps para empresa con soluciones exclusivas con Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Docs, y otros servicios que ofrece Google pero con la peculiaridad que será Sprint quien haga el soporte directamente adicional a la opción de soporte con Google.

Aunque no requiera directamente estar como cliente móvil de Sprint, de igual manera es de beneficio para la empresa ya que se pudiera enlazar directamente a Sprint como proveedora móvil ya que por ende, la utilización de tecnología siempre enlaza la utilización de Smartphone.
