Re: Sprint is being killed by NExtel wireless floundering? It was #3 before it bought Nextel. Goal of aquisition was to increase customer base as you said but I would not call their wireless position "floundering." At the time they were still adding customers, though not as fast as PacBel/Cingular/SBC/Bell South/AT&T which was why IMO aquisition was made the AT&T conglomerate thas the advantage of working on one standard (GSM) whereas Sprint and Nextel had two which were not compatible and could never be compatible.
They would have been in better shape buying Alltel instead of Nextel |
