Re: sprint / t-mobile merger...takeover?

Right now is probably the best time if any, for a company to gobble up Sprint and migrate their them to another technology. Companies are in the midst of rolling out 4G network technology.... which is a pretty major network upgrade..... can make the switch to GSM Voice, and LTE based data over the next few years.

Heck.... they can even just start phasing out CDMA devices and migrate users over, making them get new handsets if they choose to stick with the company.

It would be hella expensive. 10B is what Sprint's Market Capitalization is at these days, plus money for major network migration, plus building incentives to keep existing Sprint customers, and subsidize their purchases for new phones. Almost not worth it.
