Article Comments  86

Sprint today posted first 2011 quarterly results. Looking at the number of subscribers to its iDEN services (both iDEN and CDMA/iDEN), it appears as though the combined number of Sprint's various iDEN users has plummeted by 10% in a single fiscal quarter. At the end of the first quarter of 2011, Sprint reported having 5,617,000 post-paid (Nextel) iDEN subscribers, down 424,000 from the fourth quarter of 2010's 6,044,000 subscribers. On the pre-paid side (Boost), Sprint reported 3,200,000 customers at the end of the first quarter of 2011, down 560,000 from the fourth quarter of 2010's 3,740,000 subscribers. In sum, iDEN subscribers dropped from 9,784,000 (post-paid plus pre-paid) last quarter to 8,817,000 in its most recent quarter. The loss of 984,000 iDEN customers constitutes a drop of 9.9% during the first quarter of 2011. Sprint has announced plans to eventually shutter its iDEN network and move its CDMA voice services to the 800MHz spectrum currently used for iDEN.
