The $10 would apply to everyone still on the iDEN network on the Sprint postpaid side.

By charging this fee Sprint would be in breach of their contract as it would alter their price plan, especially a below the line fee that was never there to start off with.

no one wants to swap millions of units on 7/1/2013. Either the sub swaps now, or walks. If sprint breeches the contract, all the customer can do is walk anyway.

Well nobody agreed to allow Sprint to charge $10 per month either for a network that they were required and agreed to operate until 7/1/2013.

Someone needs to go and smack Sprint around a little bit for this. It wouldn't be permitted with anyone else, and if it was anyone else charging this fee, everyone would be all over complaining about it.

Also Sprint made their bed by allowing customers to switch back and forth and allowing them to keep signing up so now its time for Sprint to deal with what they created. This is another sign on Dan not knowing how to run a company and Sprint should have gotten rid of him long ago.

Re: What a Missed Opportunity

The merger was a disaster for both due to Sprint not knowing what to do with another network. They should have left them alone and operate and slowly move people over.

First Energy Corp, Dominion Energy, DTE, LF Ventures aka Lowe's Companies. I can go on with many other companies that still use the service. And they went with it due to Sprint's half ass attempt long ago never worked.

Nope! If they would have left them the way they were and operate as their own company, Nextel's reps would have still had a job, you wouldn't have had to talk to India for Nextel. And you would NOT have been able to move between the two companies.

Sprint gutted the company trying to cash in on the customers and in the end they went basically bankrupt and still never recovered from it. And this will hurt them even more. Japan can put all their money into Sprint right now and it still won't help them.
