The company is struggling because of their own actions..... not the users. And a sprint phone on Verizon networks doesnt hurt them if they aren't subsidized. If it was a full purchase then whats the issue?

Pay for the Airwave like an honest citizen and not try to get it for free? My bad for not trying to help the guy rip off a company. I'm sure if it were your company people were trying to rip off then you'd have a different view.

Your analogy of snow tires was not a good one. With Sprint you are paying for a service, and they are the ones that tell you if your home address or area you are in the most is under coverage and whether or not they can service you. If they cannot do that with their normal cell tower coverage, why shouldnt users try to get them to provide the coverage anyway they can?

When you buy a Vette, Viper, Porsche, WRX STi, Evo, etc etc that come with high performance street tires, you shouldnt be expecting to be able to use them all year round. However, when Sprint sells you service and they say it covers your house, you should expect them to be able to carry through.
