    Thats what my issue is. You spend billions just to watch folk walk out the door when you can invest that same billions into your company and run t-mo into the ground. I know that is an overly simplistic outlook as T-mo does bring spectrum to the table but Sprint already has an enviable spectrum portfolio and T-mo does not extend Sprints footprint. I have yet to see anything that would convince me that this is a good idea.

    If you remember it was supposed to be almost two months prior. A two week window is to small to capture somebody else s sales in a significant amount.

    In all of those cases there was a certain amount of customers who defected. While that is to be expected it is worth noting that Verizon and AT&T had decent reputations when these acquisitions took place. I fear that there will be a significant defection of former T-mobile customers if Sprint takes over.

    That flies in the face of conventional wisdom. On top of that it suggests that mobile customers are more entrenched than your average consumer. I see no evidence of that. In fact I see evidence that they are very transient. Proof of this is contracts. Forcing people onto Sprint will not work. Showing them a good product at a competitive price will.

    After the requisite delays and lawsuits. Hopefully they can avoid all that this time. They almost have to as they cannot afford to release after Samsung.

    Wow, I have a target price of $25 also. History shows that merger and acquisitions either put upwards or downwards pressure on stock immediately after the deal closes. If the t-mo deal goes through it may put downward pressure on Sprint stock creating a chance to short the stock.

    Sprint has some major cash behind it right now. I would that cash be used to drive t-mo into the ground and pressure the other two than to add a bunch of customers who actually hate Sprint(increased churn), and add a bunch of debt that may financially restrict the company. I think the long play here is to build the network to attract the customers. Not a short cut that adds debt.

    IIRC at the time it was or at least it was on paper. I have to go back and check but I believe both companies had similar revenues although we know now that only one company had a future.

    You are right Robert. As the rumor goes it is a buy out. I was talking in generic terms.
  11. centermedic
    Anybody concerned about the T-Mobile deal? It may present the opportunity to short the stock.
  12. centermedic
    I am firmly against the merger. I will also have to review the entire deal before I make a decision about my stock holdings. Other than taking a competitor off the table I really don't see where the value in this deal is. What it does do is add a bunch of debt.

    OMG! First, I really dont like articles that don't provide references. As she provided one reference which in itself was an opinion. This makes here entire piece an opinion. Second, if you take it for granted that everything in her article was true, then it only amounts to a hill of beans. Much of what she believes was said was nothing more than strategy. The savvy investor knows the difference between lies and strategy. Geez, she needs to find something else to write about.

    Good news and bad news. Th bad news is I only have insurance on the wife's phone. The good news is my upgrade is on January 1 st. So, as much as a cracked screen absolutely drives me crazy, I am going to try and wait to see what HTC comes out with.
  15. centermedic
    I agree. I cracked my screen but I'm going to hold off on a new phone. My upgrade is 1/1 and if the M8 was not coming out in a couple of months I would get a Nexus 5.

    Grrrr. Cracked my screen tonight. Luckily I have insurance with Best Buy.

    Now that makes sense and it does sound familiar.

    Actually I'm a born and raised New Yorker! My statement was based on the fact that T-Mo had A roaming agreement with Cingular. Now where they could roam I have no idea. I also know that AT&T was not interested in continuing those roaming agreements.
  22. centermedic
    In defense of T-Mo...they had a roaming agreement with Cingular. After the AT&T/Cingular merger the new AT$T decided to let those roaming agreements expire. T-Mo had to decide if they were going to build out, negotiate with AT&T at a higher price or stand pat. Their business decision was to stand pat.

    You are assuming that the source of information chosen is accurate.
  24. centermedic
    Exactly.
  25. centermedic
    Actually I dont blame Sprint or the individual customer. I blame the media. Not everybody is tech savy and those folk need to have things spoon fed to them. Most look to outfits like consumer reports or their favorite tech website to help guide them through the techno babel. We all know how reliable that can be sometimes.
