Sprint Releases Strong Response to AT&T/T-Mobile Merger

[Dorian]

That's what I figured. Merging a CDMA and GSM network under one heading would be a nightmare. The only way they could do it is to run two separate networks on the same towers, a logistic headache (at best), and offer some sort of "whatever phone you have/want" thing. I'm thinking there's a good chance (unless they took ownership and left everything else alone) it would have sunk Sprint.

It almost did just that... they were teetering on bankruptcy there for several months. The Nextel buyout was flatout stupid at the time.

EDIT: This is a sidenote, but has anyone noticed that they've changed all their marketing from "America's Largest 4G Network" to "America's Favorite 4G Network"? ROFL!
