Re: Sprint is being killed by NExtel Level 3 and Sprint are competitors. Unless Sprint buys Level 3 for its customers/knock out a competitor, it makes no sense. Then again, Sprint just bought VMUSA for its customers. Also it seems like it bought Nextel initially for the customers. There must be some banking executives at Sprint, Sprint grows through buy customers of other successes, not through organic growth. |

Actually Sprint bought Virgin Mobile to strengthen their prepaid position as they feel that's where their growth will come from. Virgin customers were already being counted among Sprint's numbers anyway since they utilize Sprint's CDMA network. |

kudos:1 | Getting the MVNO out of the picture except for brand licensing makes those subscribers more profitable. Sprint has been MVNOing itself like a whore for many years, since they can't get customers themselves and are desperate for them. The MVNO customers break even to Sprint I think. Most MVNOs are Sprint, in the USA, for a reason. |
