Just my opinion, Sprint probably needs to focus on their core business and improve their churn. If they keep on losing customers at an alarming rate, what bank is going to loan them money in this type of economy?
If they get any help, it would be highly unlikely to be from Uncle Sam. The only help I can see is if some company like Google wants to jump immediately into the wireless industry (which the have hinteed in the past) and gobble Sprint up. But even that might be a long shot.

Sprint doesn't need money. They have over 4 billion in cash. Sprint has the money to implement WiMax, hence the reason they invested in Clearwire.
I really wish this thread would be closed, because few people that post in it have a grasp on what's really going on, let alone a grasp on how business works.
