The Kansas Commission is recommending denying the spinoff of Embarq from Sprint-Nextel. They are concerned that the spinoff does not promote the public interest and provides no net benefit. Specifically the commission takes issue with the transfer for $6.6 million dollars of debt to the new company. So far Sprint has received approval in 8 of the 14 states needed.
