Sprint to Fight 'Ma Bell Duopoly'

Doesn't that imply TWO carriers?

TWO?

🙄 🙄 🙄

How many smiley faces are there?

TWO!



Learn how to count Sprint.


(oh, but they are really big competitors against my really big company! GOVERNMENT, help me compete!)

I'm sorry but I am loosing faith in Sprint and their bozo CEO, Dan Hesse. As a former Sprint employee I hate to see Sprint falling apart but they seriously need to lose Hesse as CEO.

First, Sprint started the acquisition frenzy a few years ago with their purchase of Nextel, which was one of the worst mergers ever, and one that they have never recovered from. Next, Verizon buys Altel and we don't hear a peep from Sprint about unfair to competition. Then, they attempt to acquire T-Mobile and fail (which would have been a bigger blunder than the Nextel merger) but then they cry foul when AT&T buys T-Mobile which uses the same technology and actually makes sense!! Sprint is crying because they, yes THEY, screwed up but don't want others to be...

offer to buy T-mo first? Now because they got outbid by deeper pockets, it's unfair, anti-competative, and unconstitutional? And, if they keep saying, "Duopoly" aren't they just saying that they are not competition? Duopoly means 2, but if I count right, Sprint, AT&T, and VZW makes 3. Are they just gonna give up if this goes through?

AT&T doesn't need T-Mobile, it wants T-Mobile...a key indicator for me that this deal should not go through. If this does happen, and Verizon eventually buys Sprint, I will be forced to go back to a basic flip from from all the limits they have on data. I use a few gigs a month fairly easily.

Great job, Sprint.

When I say Sprint should win, it isn't because I believe they will win. It isn't because of personal preference for the carrier.

I say it simply because they need to win. They need to win not only because of their own salvation, but also for all of our interests. It is very important for everyone to understand what I have just said.

I would like to recommend that the Representatives/Subscribers of both AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile that are advocating the acquistion, to take a step back and catch their breaths for a moment. This is not a sporting event. I would like to guess that most reps fighting for thier carrier, are parishioners of the industry for less than ten years. Many of these associates are college students working their way ...

Lmao, even with the lower prices they can't attract more millions of customers and why would that be??. Invest more money to build out your nationwide network and then lower the prices. Maybe by then Sprint will not fear if there's monopoly.

Let's all be honest for a second. Sprint is not "sticking up for the consumers". They're not fighting for America. In the end, this is only their fight because the AT&T/T-Mobile poses a threat to them.

Even so, I don't care. It's what's right for America, it's what's right for the consumers and promotes fair competition, and whatever the reason Sprint is doing this, I hope they get far.

I like it! If I didn't know any better I would think one of our resident Sprint fans wrote the release. Does Sprint have its own interest more at heart than any concern for the American consumer? I would answer, "Yes." However that does not mean that Sprint is incorrect in its assertions. Regardless, I am happy that someone is on my side.

let it be.

So instead of concentrating on improving their WiMAX network thanks to their garbage 2.5ghz spectrum and improving pricing plans to attract new customers they choose meddle in others affairs and fight a battle they have no chance in hell of winning. Where is the logic in this? Sprint never learns.

Once again it seems phonescoop is first with breaking news like this before the other sites. Go Phonescoop & Sprint!
