Re: Sprint going under

http://www.rcrwireless.com/article/2...-Third-Quarter



Also, this quote:
Quote:
However, the MVNOs are shaded on this list to distinguish them from licensed service providers. Virgin Mobile operates on Sprint Nextel's network and Boost is the prepaid offering of Sprint Nextel. Thus, these subscribers are tallied in the counts of both Sprint Nextel and its MVNOs. Tracfone, which is owned by international carrier America Movil, operates on several carrier networks, including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and others.
Says alot. Boost and Virgin customers are counted against Sprint's total. That's almost 25% of the losses this quarter. Don't know if you realize this or not, but most prepaid phones are bought to be used for not so legal activity, then tossed.
