Re: comcast + sprint ?

said by slckusr:

Sprint is hooking up with Clearwire, Comcast is hooking up with Clearwire, with roaming agreements on the sprint evdo network.

Is comcast eyeing sprint as a prize?
That's my take as well, although it may take years for it to happen, and it's been a regular rumor for years now. Sprint clearly has problems, there are some clear advantages to a tie up that allows both to better compete against AT&T and Verizon.

For Sprint/Clearwire:
A return to fixed lines
Residential / Small-Medium Business
Financial resources

For Comcast:
National Wireless Network (~50 million customers)
Big Enterprise / Government customers (a who's who list of high value customers)
SprintLink Tier 1 backbone (at cost bandwidth, although bandwidth is cheap)
Global Presence
