Cut the network support and drop even more calls. Good way to alienate your customer base. Way to go Sprint!
Not necessarily.

"...outsourcing is gaining more acceptance in Europe and Asia. In March, Vodafone struck a network management deal with Ericsson for its UK operations, while France Telecom signed a similar agreement with Nokia Siemens to maintain its networks in the Spain and the UK."

Not necessarily. The outsourcing of cell net mgt is the trend in the EU, which is always considered better than the U.S. market.

In an effort to cut costs, Sprint Nextel may outsource management of its cellular network to equipment vendor Ericsson and transfer 5,000 to 7,000 U.S. employees to that company as part of the deal.

That's according to The Wall Street Journal, which quotes sources familiar with the matter as saying the beleaguered cell phone operator could end up paying Ericsson as much as $2 billion over several years to maintain the thousands of cell sites that carry Sprint's wireless voice and data traffic. The WSJ quotes those sources as saying the deal could slash Sprint's network costs by about 20 percent.
If revenues keep dropping, they have to find a way to cut costs.
