| I say Instead of this buyout....
1: Separate Sprint and Nextel. It was a match made in hell.
2: Nextel/Boost Mobile should stand alone. Nextel was an absolute powerhouse in the corporate market, the iDEN network might be somewhat crappy, but tell you what...it worked almost everywhere.
3: Sprint should become a wireless subsidiary company under someone, like AT&T did with the old AT&T Wireless/Cingular. Someone who can benefit from the customer base and clean up the pork. |

| Small problem: Nextel iDEN is 2G. Their fastest tech is 2.5G. They're also spectrum-limit and can't compete on voice service alone when you've got providers offering nationwide unlimited for $40.
That said, their Direct Connect service is awesome. Then again, so is PTT over CDMA with Sprint. The integration has been far from perfect, but at this point Nextel probably couldn't stand on its own if it were spun off. |
