Virgin Mobile recently began using the EVDO network (via Sprint) for their service, and it looks like they are planning to continue on the broadband trend. It was reported this week that they are looking into offering WiMAX devices when the time comes, since they have access to Sprint's network.

This is all thanks to Virgin's recent acquisition of MVNO Helio. Sprint uses MVNO's network for their 3G and voice services, so Virgin will be able to tag on to their WiMAX network and offer it themselves as well. I wonder if they'll offer something prepaid?
