After Walmart and Target merge we can just call them The Store.

But no they were stupid and allowed people from the Sprint side to move over to Nextel which made them keep 2 networks.

Instead they should have given the Nextel customers the chance to move over to CDMA and improve their coverage and use Readylink instead of the PTT. It would have been a better change over than supporting 2 networks. But the former CEO didnt think of that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20629541 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:47:48 EDT Re: Maybe... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20629061 en102 : :p Especially for Verizon... why purchase what you can poach for free.

Verizon is buying Alltel, which also makes them the biggest and also substantially improves their coverage area, without taking on Sprint's high churn.

But most importantly for any future VZ/VOD-S deal, VZ officials have said they'll hold off on acquisitions for awhile, to pay down the debt gained in the Alltel deal and the spectrum auction.
I know but it is fun to spend VZ's money on their behalf.... :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628666 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:55:38 EDT Re: Maybe... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628651 EPS : Verizon is buying Alltel, which also makes them the biggest and also substantially improves their coverage area, without taking on Sprint's high churn.

Maybe AT&T is going to buy T-Mobile :D They use the same technology. Then the Death Star will get even bigger.
Yep, the way mergers are going in the USA, its going to be like Canada with only 1 GSM provider. Hey, atleast TM users get free roaming.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628641 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:53:10 EDT Re: Maybe... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628574 NY Tel : I was not suggesting that AT&T buy Sprint but that Verizon buy them.

Both CDMA
This would make VZ the biggest
Service would improve
Buy them for pennies on the dollar

IDEN is being sold by Sprint so they would not have to contend with that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628574 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:42:53 EDT Re: Maybe... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628463 en102 : Why buy Sprint, when you can have their customer defectors.

Sprint +
- WiMAX spectrum
- WiMAX deployment
- EVDO RevA network

Sprint -
- Many unsatisfied customers (high rate of churn)
- Multiple technologies - iDEN, CDMA, WiMAX and networks to support ($$$$$)
- Large debt (relative to others)
- Sprints network isn't compatible with AT&T

Wouldn't happen... even though they use the same technology...they have the same footprint.
Its cheaper to 'steal' Sprint customers than to 'buy' T-Mobile's.
Or buy Sprint since they also use CDMA.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20628435 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:16:30 EDT Re: Maybe... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20627966 en102 : Wouldn't happen... even though they use the same technology...they have the same footprint.
