a deal is a deal is a deal, this is a good lesson, don't mess with the underdog.

Underdog being a relative term in this case. Wow! Sprint really screwed up. Nextel was poison. They should have used that money to buy Alltel. It would have been a perfect fit.

Buyout?

Why doesn't Sprint raise the capital to buy these guys out like they did all the other affiliates when they foolishly acquired Nextel? Will iPCS not sell?

jeremylobaugh

I don't think Sprint is in a position to buy anyone after purchasing Nextel and bleeding customers, not to mention the 25 billion they lost on it.
