| Towers Sprint was the only cell co. that owns most of their tower sites. All the telcos either own or lease their tower sites from Tower Co. or American Tower Corp. who buy, erect and maintain most of the communications towers in the USA.
Sprint isin't going anywhere, it may merge with SK Telecom in the future but it still generates huge amounts of income and has 50 million customers.
As for Wimax, one single tower and antenna can cover hundreds of square miles so a lot of towers isin't necessary for coverage.
Don't diss these guys, a new CEO and management and the customer service is getting better, they never had a problem with coverage. Now ATT on the other hand..... |
 | Yeah, Sprint will pull through eventually. They may be merged with someone else but even if they go it alone, they'll pull through. They may become a slightly smaller company (45m customers?) but they seem to be on a path of finally moving slowly forward instead of backward. I'd think the defections will end by end of the year to early next and then maybe some growth will return.
When they fix customer support, they need to cause a price war and offer unlimited everything for $80/month. |
