I don't understand, why is it a lost cause to buy rural carriers when they before the only reason they didn't was because they didn't have the money to?
Also, just because it doesn't benefit everyone doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile. Of course, it's highly dependent on how much Sprint would have to pay for it. And why exactly does who the president was matter about AT&T and Verizon? I don't see the Obama administration trying to stop AT&T and Verizon at all.
