    We can file Nascar under Marcelo's "Nice to Have" category.

    Personally very happy he's willing to save these funds.  Much of Nascar's demographic doesn't give Sprint the time of day when selecting a carrier, if they even live in Sprint coverage. 

     

    :(. Even though I took advantage of the free radio communications the sponsorship gave me, I predicted that this would happen when he wanted to save money for the company.

    What I find disturbing is they are only committing to deploy Spark to about 100 top cities according to their website or have I missed something already announced

    Sprint Reportedly Bowing Out of T-Mobile Bid (was "Sprint offer" and "Iliad" threads)

    John Legere commenting on the meger:

    David Pogue: What about these Sprint takeover rumors?

    John Legere: If you’re talking about the rumor about Sprint’s interest in T-Mobile, it’s been around for a long time. That’s been floating around since at least 2012. Nothing particularly new there.

    On any specific deal that may or may not be going on, I really have no comment. But as a telecom professional who’s been at this game a long time, could I wake up tomorrow and use the access and capabilities of those two companies — and the economic prowess of the two owners — to create something really different and sustainable in the U.S. wireless industry? I sure as hell could.

    But that’s a different type of question.

    DP: But T-Mobile and Sprint are different, incompatible network types (GSM and CDMA). How would that work?

    JL: We merged a year ago with MetroPCS, which is a CDMA carrier. More than half the customers have already moved over and gotten new handsets on the T-network. So rather than mash together two complicated network technologies, what we’re doing is migrating the customers from one to the other over time.

    Then we’re taking those CDMA components and shutting them down. And we’re taking that radio spectrum and using it to make the T-Mobile side even better, because now you have more radio waves available for more customers. It’s a really interesting model. We’re talking about 10 million customers from MetroPCS.
