Sprint has not set a date for the launch, the July 15th date is not correct, It dose save you money because it unlimited minutes as long as you are using the Airave unit. Sprint has not set a pricing plan for the unit or the plans yet since it was in a “beta” market. The thing to keep in mind is that you need a dedicated 120kps Upload and download speed to have it work properly. If you are running multiple computers and the unit, you will runn in to problems.

Clearly they don't want to let people take the units into other countries and set up cells (even femto cells) that use spectrum that some other entity has rights to. I assume another use of the GPS is to help determine adjacent cells and what switching center the calls would switch to as the airave hands off calls that start in the airave cell.

As already mentioned, the fee is for unlimited calling that is used between your handset and this device. The GPS's primary purpose is for the timing signal to sync up with the network (CDMA equipment timing is from GPS as well) and the billing systems. It is speculated that you can use this outside a licensed Sprint area. However, that speculation is not confirmed for launch. This post is full of fail.
