| T-mobile provides Sprint with a way out of CDMA Since CDMA is all but dead, Sprint has to eventualy move from it. Merging with T-mobile makes sense because it would ease the transition into it.
The CDMA market will dwindle to a point where fewer and fewer handsets will be available for it. Wimax will always be too small to attract many handsets.
Remember that the telcos in Canada are winding down their CDMA networks, having moved to GSM (in large part to have the iphone). While it will be a number of years before it is shutdown, Sprint has to consider that its customers won't be able to roam in Canada when that happens. And with the canadian telcos having moved to GSM, it deprives Sprint of roaming revenues.
Sprint may have terrible image/service, but they have what T-Mobile lacks: spectrum in the right frequencies. The minute T-Mobile/Sprint have HSPA/UMTS running at 850/1900, they can start selling the iphone. It is important to note that iphone4 doesn't have 1700. (which tmobile uses, but also the new entrants in canada)
So, in the end, Verizon would be partly owned by Vodaphone, and Sprint would be partly owned by Deutsche-Telekom |

| CMDA is far from dead. They can still upgrade those networks and keep the bandwidth flowing. The same as TMO is doing with theirs. Why move networks now when you don't have to? You can keep pushing the speeds your customers want without the cost of building out something new right now.
