Sprint has finally joined the queue of cloud storage providers after Verizon Wireless and AT&T. Sprint will provide 5 GB of free cloud storage space to its customers and unlimited space for $4.99 per month. It's a good step ahead in terms of making more Customer base in future. Sprint is the only provider to offer unlimited cloud storage service and this can act as an edge for the company to rule other out of the market. AT&T just offers 5 GB while Verizon Wireless has plans offering 125 GB.
Sprint cloud service can be used as a medium for storing photos, videos, music and other files which can be later retrieved anytime using the Sprint cloud app on both platforms - Android and iOS. This is another reason why Sprint can jump ahead of other cloud storage providers (AT&T and Verizon Wireless) with plans offering unlimited cloud storage space.
Sprint cloud service is powered by pogoplug and has great chance of early setting up because of its attractive plans. But competition is gonna difficult because of bigger players already having the biggest market share (Google's Google drive, Microsoft's SkyDrive, Dropbox etc). It would be interesting to see how Sprint's customers are gonna make use of unlimited cloud space at a very reasonable price tag.
Sprint follows Verizon, AT&T with its own cloud storage service http://t.co/WoZegytmFF via @verge
