| Having had service with both T-Mobile for a short few months and Sprint for over 10 years, I can say that a merger between the two of them is a horrible idea. Any interaction that I had with T-Mobile was only after holding for 10 to 15 minutes to get a customer service agent, where I typically get directly to an agent with Sprint. Sprints coverage is head and shoulders above T-Mobile both here in Chicago and in Florida where I lived before. I cant speak for other areas of the country but in these 2 Sprint is by far superior. Sprint operates an open network when compared to the other wireless carriers. Sprint may have had their problems in the past, especially when trying to integrate Nextel into their operation, but they have come a long way.
Besides, if you look at the coverage maps for iPCS and T-Mobile they definitely overlap, and I can almost assure you that iPCS isnt going to allow a competitor to purchase Sprint and compete against them in their exclusive markets. |
