Re: Is Sprint Even Likely? said by PapaMidnight:I have to ask as considering Sprint's cost in upgrading it's own network and the fact that it does not use a GSM network like T-Mobile does, the cost here seem to outweigh the likely benefit of acquisition.
GSM at the moment for Sprint would be a middling technology. Yes it would be incompatible. It would also mean that it would have to be run as a separate entity. That being said, if this were to happen. You would have sprint do a freeze on new gsm phones. Any of the phones Tmo would sell would be on Sprints new LTE network. This way as contracts end and people get new phones. they would all be on a unified standard. I'm not saying it would be easy, but it would make the most sense. |
