Just trying to establish that there was a method behind the madness. So i guess Sprint saddled them with more debt than they could get in a sale. It was probably the right decision at the time but it has come back to haunt them. To add insult to injury, Centurylink is not doing to bad outside of its debt. http://ir.centurylink.com/QuarterlyResults.aspx?iid=4057179
