Sprint Looks to Slice

Sprint is swinging the ax as wireless subscribers flee in large numbers.
The No. 3 mobile phone service is preparing to cut "thousands" of employees, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal that cites people familiar with the plan.
The news comes just three days after TheStreet.com first reported that Sprint lost more than 500,000 wireless customers in the fourth quarter.
A Sprint representative declined to comment.
