    Not sure if this would be very useful for sprint since most of its ERT equipment( as far as I can tell) is always on the move or deployed. http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/services_solutions/details.jsp?detId=govt_emergency_prep&catId=industry_govt_public_safety&catName=State%20and%20Local%20Government%20and%20Public%20Safety&detName=Emergency%20Preparedness&specialCat=true

    I wonder if the CCA/RRPP agreements include a Sprint right of first refusal if any partner decides to put itself up for sale.

    I disagree. It was mutually beneficial for one company to manage the nationwide bailout. ATT extended that monopoly to telephone equipment(western electric). As a result the government filed an anti trust suit because AT&T had total control over telecommunications. The actual breakup was proposed by AT&T. In any case my original point stands that when we talk about nationalized companies the original AT&T should be included in that discussion.

    Thats not exactly true. Outside of wartime there was one industry that had a national monopoly, telephone service. To me that was a defacto nationalized service as public funds were used with federally mandated service requirements.

    Vodafone buying T-Mo would be significant especially considering the amount of money Big Red just paid them to exit their partnership.

    Everything goes in cycles. I remember when Sprint was the top dog and AT&T was considered to be Satan's toe jam. Amazing how things change. Enjoy your service and needle your friend whenever it might amuse you

    I wonder how much of the low price is a result of Softbank leveraging its buying power. This could be the start of a great trend.

    Sprint likely does not want a significant portion of them.

    Get a mirror.

    I seem to remember somebody else trying this with no success.

    I agree, accept that this was an issue with Sprint that was corrected with the Premier program. I am still hoping that they bring back some type of loyalty program. It also makes sense as it may help to retain some of the new customers once their introductory pricing expires.

    WiMax had a similar potential as LTE especially with later protocol releases. The problem was that the industry moved towards LTE. That would have caused the price of equipment and hand set procurement to rise significantly. Bottom line WiMax is dead because of money and not performance.

    No spectrum but tower rights? Does that mean that Sprint can take its time building out? I also hope that Cellular One had good tower spacing/placement. If nothing else I think Sprint should cover I-80 through Wyoming asap. EDIT: I see now that these towers only cover a small part of northern Wyoming. Atleast they have the ability to cover a major part of I-90 in Montana.

    I know North Carolina State government internet access was down for the better part of the day.

    I agree. Even though I have gotten used to the new calendar app I still like the old one better.

    Exactly.

    This a thousand times. I have been called crazy before but I still think Sprint can compete head on with AT&T. With the right pricing/value I think they should go right after AT&T. Let T-Mo become the bottom feeder. I think Level Three would be a great acquisition!

    To lazy to look it up right now but Century link is saddled with significant debt, mostly from financing its own merger. I think a strategic alliance would be more beneficial for both parties. The first step would be for Century link to come back into the Sprint fold as a MVNO.

    Fiber for the most part will follow the same pole vs underground conventions that other utility lines have used mostly because it just makes sense. The legacy telephone and electric companies did the math regarding underground or pole mounted and their decisions are reflected in the fact that you see utility poles or you don't. When cable came around it followed these same routes because again, it just made sense.

    Dont remind me. I just had to deal with that mess last week at 12 noon! I decided to save somebodies life and keep my freedom. I stopped at a hotel for the night.

    Its a saturated market. Just about anybody who wants a cell phone has a cell phone with the only emerging demographic being pre-teens/teens. That's why we are about to see an all out battle to keep customers, steal the other guys customers and capture the youngsters. That's the ONLY route to growth other than mergers.

    4 years? Wrong. Bad management and horrible customer service? If you are going to voice your opinions then don't present them as fact.
