Re: Bad news for Sprint...

Sprint may not stay afloat but they won't go totally under. If anything they'll be bought out, stripped down and the money making parts will be absorbed and/or bought by capital investment co's or other wireless carriers.

Keep in mind the FCC will only let one carrier (think VZW) get so big before they step in a regulate them out the yin/yang. Many of you peeps here aren't old enough to remember AT&T's divestiture back in the 80's.

Some things come full circle (AKA VZW buying Alltel, which was comprised of several GTE markets that were spun off/sold off/forced off with the BA/GTE merger) and history tends to repeat itself. Landlines and wirelines have their place in the world, but wireless is the here, now and immediate future.

Honestly, I have no love at all for Sprint. When I had their service it sucked and always had problems. Their customer service is only called so as they handle the "Customers" that call in/walk in and little else, lack of service more like it.

Bottom line is Sprint may change names, but they won't actually "go away" or "go under"
