I work for Sprint. This won't happen. A lot of people (especially with other carriers) like to "speculate" about Sprint and it's direction. I can assure you that Sprint has no plans on being bought out. The recent lay off's and cut in costs were a business decision by Sprint in order to keep things flowing properly in the right direction. You don't hire a new CEO and a whole new batch of advisors (vp, mvp etc.) and sell the company. Sprint is going in the right direction. WiMax will be launching in 2008. Sprint will have new Sprint walkie talkie phones coming out this year that will be running Rev. A. Which also means there is a possiblity that you will be able to use Direct Connect on your Mogul. Sprint is going to be the leader in the wireless industry once again and it will happen sooner than everyone thinks.

So forget about Sprint ever giving up on CDMA (At least until they convert everything to WiMax and you are able to do voice of WiMax. It will end up being CDMA/WiMaX network I think.) They are not going to be bought out. Customer should feel excited about being with Sprint even though there are tough times, Customer Service is going to improve a great deal and you are going to experience being a customer of the leading wireless country in America.

With that said. NO SPRINT ISN'T BEING BOUGHT OUT.
