Embarq, FTW?

Sprint spun the wire line off a while back my friend.
Wanna put some money on that? They only spun off the LOCAL division known as LTD. They NEVER had any plans to get rid of the Longdistance (LD) which is still alive and very well functioning.. So before you open your trap, you might want to call up any of your Sprint buddies over at the NOC or something and ask them if you don't want to take my word for it. ;) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20662355 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:48:10 EDT Re: last ditch effort to save a company http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20650403 hottboiinnc : They were suppose to roll it out then. But they didn't. They just kept saying it was coming, it was coming. But nothing. They waited until now. Sucks to the them. They just need to give up and shut the companies down and sell everything off. They'll never come back.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20650403 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:27:38 EDT Re: last ditch effort to save a company http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20649397 badshot23 :

is this sprints last ditch effort to save the company. could this up the price of sprint if another company wants to buy it.
Lets look at from another point. If Sprint is basing it's survival on PTT, they ARE dead. It's just one "other" feature they will offer. People are already trying to make it seem like walkie-talkie is the ONLY thing they are about. How quick everyone forgot about the wireline portion of the company. Strong, lots of network and able to handle the load that it's wireless or other needs can toss at it. They already carry voip traffic for most of the major ISP's that offer it. I can bet if they ever lost the "wired" portion of the company, Sprint would be no more. Just a assumption. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20648427 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:10:01 EDT Re: last ditch effort to save a company http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20644442 fiberguy : I can't say what you say is true.. but, what I WILL say is true is that the amount of people here who consistently make these "X company is going to die" predictions is very high.. the number of those predictions that come true I can count on one hand.

Sprint is not going anywhere anytime soon.

What I'm saying sounds rude, and it probably is, but people here should spend more time talking about the technology rather than the business & transactional side of these companies because very few people here actually have a clue what they are talking about.

Example: The prediction of the end of cable when FiOS came out has been called by many people - rather, FiOS was not as welcomed as people expected. People have been calling the end of every cable company since the beginning of DirecTV & Dish.. and Vonage is still in business, even after being pummelled by law suits. need I say more?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20644442 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:39:40 EDT Re: last ditch effort to save a company http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20644175 xenophon : If Sprint could've rolled out this out within 12-18 months of acquiring Nextel, they probably wouldn't have been lost so many Nextel users.

I wouldn't go as far as "too say too little too late", but maybe "just about right possibly too late".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20644175 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:14:24 EDT last ditch effort to save a company http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20642983 BuzzDar : is this sprints last ditch effort to save the company. could this up the price of sprint if another company wants to buy it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20642983 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:28:37 EDT
