SoftBank, Deutsche Telekom Discussing T-Mobile Buyout
Status Quo is a non-starter
- Sprint stinks. Don't let them mess up TMUS.
- we like what TMUS is doing. Let them keep it up.
- The feds won't/shouldn't let this happen.
- We need to have 2 national GSM operators
The reality is that status quo is a false choice.
1. DT wants to sell TMUS and in my opinion will do so to whomever brings a credible offer to the table. TMUS is a drag on DT's earnings and despite the positive news under Legere & Co., DT wants out.
2. Both S and TMUS are too small (subscriber wise) to grow out of their urban/semi urban availability. They don't have the subscriber base to support the capital investment in infrastructure and also deliver acce...

At this point with Sprint being such a damaged brand, I feel like the best thing Softbank can do now is take over the financial backing of T-Mo from DT and work on merging the network assets without disrupting operations for either carrier and phase out Sprint entirely.

Sprint is not out to purposely loose customers. They notified us that we would experience issues during the upgrade and told us to keep track of said issues. So fa...

I have a good friend that uses Sprint as his work phone and Verizon as his personal. Luckily he has a personal phone because they had two towers down for most of last week in the city where he works. Because of this his boss is now looking to switch because they can't afford anymore hiccups!
My point is simple, you may pay a little more with AT&T and Verizon but you get QUALITY service. With Sprint you get service interruptions and long hold times to get your problems solved. If you want to compare how the networks stack up just g...

Your point is made harshly and irrationality amidst a topic of irrelevance in the quality of service regarding the two major players of the US wireless industry. It seems throughout this topic, you've made statements to push the two largest carriers while dismissing the efforts of a carrier that has remained number 3 regardless of perception. Verizon Wireless and AT&T have been the beneficiaries of a monopoly seperated years ago. Using their financial clout to quell any new or upcoming competition that proposes a threat. Consistently fighting the government against imposing rules that may work ...
