Re: earthlink save yourself....drop helio.
There's a difference between SBC buying AT&T Corp. and a foreign company buying Sprint. Shareholders might not approve of it, but then again, shareholders are more concerned about money, than they are about the company itself.
Maybe Sprint will get broken up.
I read somewhere that banks were saying that Qwest was interested in Sprint's infrastructure.
Didn't Mpower get bought by some other company? |

| I don't think Qwest has the cash or a strategic reason to buy Sprint. Breaking up really doesn't make sense either, IMO...Sprint is a strange animal...they've had a long history of taking chances on new technology and bringing it to market...they just never worked out the business end of things.
Mpower sold the Nevada and California business to TelePacific and Chicago to McLeod. Too bad, really...I had a special place in my heart for that company. Too many good people with the best of intentions were undone by greed and their own management's telco mentality. |
