This just in...

iPCS sues themselves for allowing the takeover. Why? They've sued everyone else, why not themselves?

6th sense?

Why do I get this eerie feeling that data and GPS retrieval will be a lot slower? Often times it seems the money is in place to do a merger/aquistion, but it is very hard to merge technology. T-Mobile still has issues with the Suncom handsets, rate plans, etc

So, is this the last independent affiliate?

I'm pretty sure Sprint brought them all into the fold, after the Nextel deal. Except iPCS of course. Certainly, I don't think there are any out there who are causing litigious grief. But, I'm wondering if they've now all been bought-out.

No it is not, there are still 2 affiliates that exist.

Class action lawsuit

3 ppl in this thread are suing on behalf of iPCS and iPCS is suing themselves. We are going to band together to sue Microsoft. It was popular in the 90's I'm bringing it back. Lets do this!! 👿
