Sprint May Scoop Up Half of RadioShack's Stores

Feb 2, 2015, 1:55 PM by Eric M. Zeman

RadioShack and its creditors might sell half the company's stores to Sprint and close the remaining locations, reports Bloomberg. Sources familiar with the companies' plans suggest Sprint would rebrand the RadioShack stores, which would cease to exist as stand-alone electronics stores. Bloomberg's sources said, however, that the deal is not final and may change. Further, a third party may make a bid for the ailing electronics company. RadioShack has been in bankruptcy for months and is seeking a way out of debt. Selling some stores, closing the rest, and selling off assets would help lenders recover some of the money they've lent RadioShack over the last year to keep it afloat. Neither Sprint nor RadioShack commented on Bloomberg's report.

T-Mobile recently announced that its mid-band 5G network now covers over 200 million people, a threshold that the industry acknowledges as "nationwide" coverage. (Mid-band 5G offers an ideal balance of fast data speeds and broad coverage compared to 5G in other bands.) In an interview with Phone Scoop, T-Mobile executives detailed how they plan to maintain the company's lead in mid-band 5G even as Verizon and AT&T launch mid-band 5G early next year.

Not smart

Sprint needs to stop sinking money into things that won't help them. Two perfect examples were Nextel and Clearwire. They need to put money into their network to expand their own technology and stick with it. Unless they plan on changing technologies, their past of first with Iden and then Wimax, and the failed attempt of TMO (GSM) is doing nothing to help their tiny footprint of native CDMA.
