Though I hear good things about the United Federation of Sprint and the Universal Church of Comcast's efforts to quell dissent on the lower fourteen colonies. |

Comcast has the cash to do it.
Sprint would be renamed "Comcastic PCS!"
"I'm a MAC."
"And, I'm a PC."
"What's that new gizmo you're holding, PC?"
"It's the new Comcast PCS Google Phone. I can even use the iStore products on it. It has a 80 gig HD too."
"Wow! Where can I buy it?"
"At any Comcast PCS store or Comcast office."
Ding-Ding!

Better idea.
Comcast buys sprint, renames the whole company Sprint PCS for wireless. Then call the land service "sprint fiber optics". Sprint used to push the whole fiber optic BS in the 80s and 90s, now comcast can revitalize that and pitch it as a new fiber optic company.
Existing comcast customers call their service comcast, all new customers sign up with "sprint fiber optics" (still delivered over coaxial for the last mile). This way comcast can acquire new accounts under a new name with less bad reputation. All new customers would get simple everything plan for voice,data,mobile, and video for one low price.
F@#$ calling sprint Comcast PCS, sprint is a better name than comcast for marketing. |

Comcast bounces around on the reputation meter to me, and Sprint has always been pretty darn low, since their shenanigans with CISCO with the Internet backbone in the 1990s.
So, I don't see Sprint as bueying the repuation of Comcast. Of course, I'm sitting here with Comcast's brand new "Extreme" service (10megabitspersecondoutbound, 50megabitspersecondinbound, tested and confirmed to be such) before I've even laid a penny on paying the first bill which that is reflected on (haven't seen it yet), so I'm in the happiest part of happy land with them now. That's frosted on top with the memory of four tech visits, each very motivated to get their job done right, to get the service to work.
Yes, I know, it coughed a bit when the new teir was born, but I was ready for that so didn't mind.
Sprint? Evil Enemy #1, a small dovermin pincher barking at the feet of the dinosaur deathstar AT&T as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, you don't want to be crushed by the behemoth, but that dog will tear you to shreds before the big one gets close to you.
Comcast has plenty of negatives to its name, but nothing so treacherous. So I'm not at the same place as you with the naming. To me Comcast is a mixed bag, but Sprint and AT&T are just garbage all through and through, with little bits of good history and humanity to hang to, only because they're on the same planet as we are. |
