disruptive?

I think the best time to be disruptive is when in a position of strength. If a company is making too much money in a new industry, their competitors can too... until the market matures, and pain sets in. Sprint being disruptive now could just look like dying a painful death, instead of staying ahead of competitors by offering a better deal.

When the boss company starts throwing its weight around, it gets sued into oblivion by anti-corporation quasi-socialist regulators. If it's the market leader, it's anti-competitive.

If it's a smaller fish (presumably like Spring), then it's okay.

Or, it's a death spasm and no one will notice.
