 | TM Sprint will go to TM and Comcast will still be there. Probably taking on more stock in Clear.
TM wouldn't be stupid and give up a 4g network that is already being built and is proven to support users, unlike LTE. |

They will grandfather, and build the rest out with LTE. TM's AWS and PCS, Clear's BRS/EBS, Sprint's national PCS, and that white elephant called Nextel's SMR. |

| too much money to grandfather and still run 2 different networks for a hand full of people. would be smarter just to leave WiMax where it is and keep building.
After all Sprint has this problem now with running two networks. You NEVER cut off the hand that feeds the mouth and thats what TMO would do to WiMax if they killed that and went with LTE. |

 | There would also be the 'spectrum cap' problem as well. DOJ/FCC wouldn't like them holding that much spectrum. Not that merging their wireless operations makes any sense.
Some have speculated these rumors could be about the wireline side. Forming a joint venture to deal with the backhaul problem. That actually makes a lot of sense.

 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | reply to hottboiinnc So the analysts are trying to create business for themselves again and here everyone is speculating and making their predictions... gotta love it.
Sprint isn't going anywhere.. T-Mobile isn't buying anyone... VZ will still be VZ (and suck) and ATT will still continue to destroy the world.
T-Mobile has been called for purchasing Sprint/Nextel for a few years now. These "analysts" area always out calling the next merger.. sooner or later, they'll get lucky and call one right, and then they can add it to their resume that they were able to predict a merger.
I guess this is what happens when they're underpaid and out of work.. their minds melt. |
