Gary Forsee, CEO of Sprint Nextel and Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola, fielded questions from analysts and journalists at a press briefing on Tuesday in New York. Sprint announced plans to spend $3 billion over the next two years to build a fourth-generation wireless network using WiMax technology. The wireless operator is partnering with Intel, Motorola and Samsung Electronics to build the network and develop devices that will access the network.

Forsee said that the jump to 4G is not a replacement for Sprint’s third-generation network, but will help the company develop a new market for advanced wireless services.
