Re: Interesting

I absolutely think Sprint is a prime takeover target. I absolutely hope it's not a cable company that grabs 'em, but believe it will be. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting bidding war once it starts.

It would be too smart for Sprint to partner with Google on the 700mhz spectrum. Google's pockets and ingenuity and Sprint's infrastructure... Delicious.

I'd love to see Covad in there too - a bit of networking expertise and a decent client base...

Covad, Google, and Sprint offering most all digital services, except TV (and personally, I think that's the most endangered service), would be a great equalizer in the Tel/CableCo world.

Covad? Considering how outrageously expensive this already bankrupt once company is, why would Goog want them?

Re: Interesting

Expensive? In what way? Work has their voice/data ("integrated") T1 through Covad because it was one of the cheapest options. Their VOIP service is certainly competitive on price too, IMO.

And price for the company? Not at their current stockmarket value!

Why would they want them - is mentioned in the previous reply, "a bit of networking expertise and a decent client base", in addition to the wired infrastructure they could offer.

Of course, the Biggest Reason I'd like to see it happen is I like Covad for their services and their slight disruption of the Telco monopoly. I think they're going to burn up if they don't merge with someone, and that would be a shame.
