2 edits | I miss Metrophone , that was real customer service. Comcast should just buy Sprint, convert to LTE. There you go instant phone company . A real competitor to Verizon, and ATT. |

Who remembers that Comcast actually is the ORIGINAL owner of Nextel? (Comcast spun off Nextel in the late 1990s *prior* to their purchase of Jones Communications, and well before AT&T Broadband was on their radar; Comcast still has long-term contracts with the Nextel side of Sprint because of their DirectConnect features.)
Perhaps its all the talk as of late of *unwinding* previous transactions (mostly related to problematical asset valuations), and now whenever a spinoff hasn't quite worked the way some thought it would, they want to retract it (such as the talk during the late 1990s about possibly re-assembling the Bell System).
What next? Comcast being dragged into re-acquiring Muzak? (Muzak is another former Comcast subsidiary; it was previously the Sound Division.) |
