I gave up an excellent Sprint plan because there was no coverage in my new home. Their signal is blocked by terrain and they need to add a tower east of where I live to provide coverage to many potential subscribers in this area. As subscribers become more dependent on their Wireless Phones the will be unable to accept a service provider that does not provide adequate coverage. You should have asked them for a femto......

1 edit | Good News There's plenty of bad news in the earnings report....but if you actually look at the numbers, there is also good news and plenty of positive signs.
Just like with the economy at large, which was at the brink of a great abyss just a few months ago, the short-sighted, quarterly report driven trader types forget how bad a shape Sprint was in before Hesse took over.
The economy is turning around. So is Sprint. But both are very large ships that take a while to change direction.
Sprint has slowed subscriber loss. It has made the right moves in the prepaid market - both with Boost and the unlimited plan and the recently announced purchase of Virgin Mobile USA.
Customer Service is leaps and bounds ahead of where it used to be...and IMHO it is now better than every other national carrier's customer service.
Pricing - both prepaid and postpaid - is excellent and best-in-class. And it positions Sprint as a premium brand while keeping the value-seeking consumers in-house on Boost and now Virgin without damaging the primary brand's value.
If you exclude the iCrap and the fanboys that come with it, Sprint has always had the latest devices. Look at the Pre. It's also trying hard to fight the perception that it's second fiddle to #1 VZW - it recently released the Blackberry Tour on the SAME day as Verizon where in the past such launches have lagged Verizon's by a few months.
There's also the next generation build-out. Sprint actually has markets live, where Verizon and AT&T are still issuing press releases about it. T-Mobile doesn't have much of a 3G footprint, so let's not even talk about their next-gen plans.
Go visit a company owned AT&T store and then go visit a company owned Sprint store. Then tell me which one looks like it's humming with energy and more customers shopping and taking care of business. Then compare where you receive better, more attentive service from employees. These are "soft" and intangible indicators of a company's performance that you won't see in an earnings report....but these things matter.
Sprint was first to offer a Femtocell solution - it will give you the equipment for free if you ask nicely, and has an unlimited calling option. Verizon just started offering a similar device, charges $250 for it, and there is no unlimited calling option. AT&T doesn't have anything like it.
The coverage foot-print of Sprint is virtually identical to Verizon's. With roaming agreements, anywhere there is a CDMA tower, you can use your Sprint phone. It's 3G network is best-in-class.
What Sprint needs to do now is expand its customer base and reduce competitive background noise. The purchase of Virgin was a good step. Next, if it can find the cash, buy US Cellular or the remains of Alltel....or other smaller CDMA providers.
There are short-sighted oafs, the banker types, who can't see past their nose. Don't be one of these people.
These are the same people that give the President shit for a slow economy The economy is getting better, slowly but surely. The stimulus is working. Give it time.
These are the same people who gave Verizon crap for investing in the next generation fiber network....and now look at the company's earnings and compare it to AT&T which really doesn't have a next generation wireline network plan.
And of course it's the same crowd that's telling us that Sprint is doomed while ignoring the huge amount of progress made. OK, so maybe the turnaround is not 180 degrees yet. But it's getting there.
Don't be one of those people.
If you would have bought stock when I told you to, under $2, your money would have doubled now. If you buy stock NOW at $4, your money will double in the next year.

The operator will deploy HSPA as far as its current hardware will allow, utilising software techniques to improve network efficiency, but will not spend on hardware upgrades. T-Mobile will be able to boost its current 7.2Mbps HSDPA network up to 14.4 Mbps on the downlink but not to the next step of 28.8Mbps that is enabled by HSPA+. | |

| | Sprint is being killed by excessive "special access" charges The reason why Sprint has spotty coverage, and hence is losing subscribers, is that the incumbents (AT&T and Verizon) are engaged in anticompetitive practices that make it obscenely expensive for Sprint to deploy new towers. See my blog posting at
»bennett.com/blog/2009/06/whats-t···al-axes/

| Re: Sprint is being killed by excessive "special access" charges I have to agree that Sprint has excellent coverage. I carry both a Sprint and Verizon phone... I live in Wyoming, lots of open areas... 9 out of 10 times if I am out in the wilderness I will have coverage on the Sprint phone and not the Verizon phone. Driving from Wyoming to Ohio I see the same thing, a lot stronger coverage on my sprint phone compared to my Verizon phone. | |
|
| | | Pure propaganda. How much do you think a carrier should pay for T1s? Having managed projects for the three largest wireless carriers, I know for a fact that each carrier receives bulk discounts for access lines. Do you think an AT&T, Verizon or Qwest will not provide service for the true number lines that they are leasing?

1 edit | said by sides14:If the cost is truly an issue, then why aren't the complainers building their own network? Because the "complainers," as you call them, can't get the same government subsidies or monopoly rents that the incumbents got to build out their networks. What's more, they cannot realize the same economies of scale. Remember, when you lay fiber, the first strand costs all the money. All the others are essentially free and thus generate high profits. But a cell phone company isn't in the business of leasing out fiber and so cannot reap these benefits. It simply needs to get to the tower. In short, it's not economically feasible to duplicate the existing infrastructure. | |
|
| | | | | Re: Sprint is being killed by excessive "special access" charges Let's us for instance say that x wireless company is in Qwest or AT&T territory. Neither company (AT&T or Qwest) are going to lay fiber to cell sites. Since many cell sites are colocated with multiple carriers, there is the revenue stream.
In addition, it's not very difficult to lay your own fiber. Public Utility Commissions aren't the obstacle (I have worked with both the CPUC and Arizona Corporate Commission for CLEC licenses).
As for subsidies, even wireless companies get USF subsidies. | |
|
| | | | | | Re: Sprint is being killed by excessive "special access" charges Wrong. It's the "middle mile" connectivity (the tens or hundreds of miles to the city), not the last mile to the tower, for which cellular providers are being overcharged. | |

| Sprint is being killed by NExtel This will go down as one of the worst acquisition decisions; ranking up there with Time Warner/AOL. Nextel's technology was never compatible with Sprint's; Alltel would have made the better choice as they are CDMA and would have helped fill in the holes. But Nextel had more subscribers and management was either to naive or too ignorant to listen to their technical folks.
Sprint has alwasy been at the vanguard of technology; their internet backbone is one of the largest in the world and is the most reliable IMO. On the business side I have had nothing but good experience with them, both wired and wireless. They have already written down the entire $25B+ cost of the acquisition; the bleed will continue until the nextel technology is completely exorcised from the company (if that has not happened already). Their ongoing 4G deployment should ease the customer loss and a smart acquisition (like say, Level3) should strengthen their backbone for ongoing mobile PDA explosion. | |

Make sure you parse that statement:
Sprint WIRED business, as it was/is had top of breed service... the wireless venture was floundering until it bought Nextel, then the failure to evolve the Iden network and integrate the two corporate cultures made for a train wreck in slow motion. Verizon and AT&T slowly took over a majority of Sprint's loyal IDEN(aka push to talk) customers with low cost plans, Even TMobile and MVNO's such as Tracfone took the rest. What's left? A few lazy postpaid customers (believe it or not, some stupid people actually pay for AOL service, haha) and a new breed of prepaid "everything customers" who daily complain about the quality of services & coverage/sevice gaps.
If some stupid schmo sends you a check for something you make a killer profit on while providing lack luster service and they're none the wiser, wouldn't you continue to screw them? That's the business equivilent of the American Dream, corporate style. | |

| Re: Sprint is being killed by NExtel wireless floundering? It was #3 before it bought Nextel. Goal of aquisition was to increase customer base as you said but I would not call their wireless position "floundering." At the time they were still adding customers, though not as fast as PacBel/Cingular/SBC/Bell South/AT&T which was why IMO aquisition was made the AT&T conglomerate thas the advantage of working on one standard (GSM) whereas Sprint and Nextel had two which were not compatible and could never be compatible.
They would have been in better shape buying Alltel instead of Nextel | |

| The coverage *seems* identical (especially due to the tower-sharing agreements and roaming agreements). However, the actual technology is where the rubber meets the road. The two types of CDMA seem compatible; however, they are employed differently enough that they are not *completely* compatible. (This is why they can share tower space; there's no interference because of those differences.) The differences are enough, however, to cause dead spots due to how each type of CDMA acts given the geography of an area.
(This is why, in 2005, pre-spinoff of Embarq, VZW was waxing Sprint butt along the Strip, which was practically in Sprint's front yard. The tower coverage was supposedly there; however, the dead spots caused by CDMA-tech differences bit Sprint in the butt.) | |

| The good olde' days! I remember the days when Sprint used to come out with new phones before anyone else. They always had the cool gadgets. The 6700 came out first on Sprint before it even hit Verizon. Sprint's EVDO network was up and running before VZ's.
People forget that Sprint was the first all-digital wireless carrier from the ground up. VZ had to switch from analogue and Cellular One was nowhere insight.
I remember clearly when AT&T bought Cellular One and then went belly-up. I remember when Cingular (bellsouth) came out and it had $h!tty service all over the North east (still does), I remember Voicestream customers not being able place calls even if they were seating on top of the tower (still has poor service T-Mo).
ATT has grown to its current size because of all the little mergers here and there. NY Telephone+NJ Bell+NYNEX+Bell Atlantic+GTE=Verizon... Who has Sprint merged with that is of some notable size... NexTel... Ummm that's even debatable.
I've only had 2 cell phone carriers in my life; Bell Atlantic for 3 years (hated having my fcking analogue phone cloned every week), and now Sprint since 97. To make a long story short, I think it's natural for everyone to bitch, moan and sh!t on the little guy.
Yes Verizon has caught up and surpassed Sprint by leaps and bounds, ATT the iphone has brought them stardom but that's about it. If ATT didn't have the iPhone they'd still be trailing after the VZ's and Sprint of the world.
Now GSM vs CDMA... Who gives a FCK over what Europe is using. Why do I need a phone that will work somewhere at 3 dollars a minute... Come on! All I really care about is that when I'm "Home" (50 states+territories) I have something that works, and last time I checked CDMA worked in all those places.
I carry a Mogul and own 2 iphones (2g and 3gs). The only reason why I have iphones is because I'm not paying for the service. The 2g is fully unlocked and I use when i travel abroad, the 3gs work pays for.
If for some magical reason the iPhone were to come in a CDMA + EVDO Rev. B or WiMax version and it happened to be available to VZ and Sprint; ATT could potentially be in the situation that sprint is currently in. | |

I remember at the beginning with VZ EVDO in San Diego, there was a fine print disclaimer that even though the cards could do 2mbitps, the towers were limited to 1.5 mbitps. Sprint later passed VZ in coverage during 2005-2006, then in 2007/2008 Verizon started to add EVDO to its "outer" areas that Sprint didn't have any coverage and it exceeded Sprint's EVDO coverage. | |

Hollywood, FL | Six of one, half dozen of another.... Bashing Sprint certainly is a bit of sport around here, but then again I think all of the carriers get poo'd on.
Same goes for the Palm commentary. Kinda old really.
I've been with Sprint since around '99 and honestly while they're certainly not perfect, I've had good luck with them, have signal nearly anywhere I go and good call quality.
They also don't usally screw with the devices as much as I've heard with Verizon. What I want to do, I pretty well can. No I haven't really used tethering, and yes the fees can be annoying but the service has generally been good.
There's no way in hades I want more of my $$ going to the Death Star. So I won't be moving there anytime soon.

After switching to a new contract (family plan) we get unlimited data (includes BB internet), text, GPS, e-mail, picturemail, NASCAR TV, etc etc for $100 per month with 2 phone lines. Total after taxes and fees is $110/mth, no other provider has offered me nearly as much for a contract. The cheapest Verizon/T-mobiile would offer me was $175 for the equivalent of Sprint.
Customer service, even the ones in India, were always very helpful and never gave me any trouble. But I guess that doesn't help their business lol. I do hope they can do better and make their service even better.

| | Sprint User I have had Sprint for about 10 years now and don't have any complaints. I have friends and children who have gone from carrier to carrier because I hear them complaining about one thing or another. My daughter had Verizon, called them to cancel, they gave her the date to shut off (which she did) and the next month she got a bill for one day service ($3 and change). I called them and explained exactly what she did and what they told her to do and they still would not dismiss the charge. If I have any discrepancy with Sprint, its one phone call, no arguing and its off the bill immediately. They have the best customer service bar none. Coverage? No different better or worse than my friends phones (AT&T, Verizon, Iphone). We all get signals and we all lose them one time or another. Cost? Probably less than other carriers because I have been with them for so long. I have 3 phones on my line and I pay $20 for unlimited text. FOR ALL 3 TOTAL!!! Try and get that with another carrier. Say what you want but I've been there, seen it all and done it all and Sprint is still the best here.

| | New customer that really likes Sprint Sprint works great for me in So. California.
Have had Sprint for 8 months, have 1500 minutes and unlimited everything else for 5 lines, 5 instincts. No problems.
Had Verizon for 4 years, sucked at home and at work
Had Tmobile for 2 years, sucked at home and at work
Had Cingular for less than 30 days, just sucked.
Sprints plan for the same service is less than the other carriers. | |

Sprint should expand their network.
