Sprint Loses Attempt to Skirt $300M Tax Lawsuit
Who would have thought..
I thought it was funny that it says that sprint was "Dissapointed". I'd be pretty dissapointed too if somebody tried to sue me for almost 400 million dollars. Hopefully the state takes every single penny from them.
Clearly they don't know too much about it, as they have just done an awesome job managing their finances.

T-Mobile fanboy? The State of NY is claiming that Sprint was not charging enough in taxes, Sprint says they were nothing more than that. But u in all your supreme knowledge know about managing a multinational multibillion dollar business. Yeah right....
I know, right. Some of these clowns crack me up. They just read a headline and jump to conclusions without bothering with any pertinent details. I suppose the sheeple of this day and age don't realize that being accused of something does not necessarily equate to being guilty of that accusation.
2) I find it odd that NY is presumably the only state seeking financial restitution from Sprint.
3) Half of my mortgage every month goes to taxes and our property taxes are the highest tax burden in the country. It's a very greedy state where the money seems to get lost in between the collection process and administratng where it should be redirected for legitimate expenditures.
4) I have lost all respect for the NY politicians that supported the ban onto NYC individuals from purchasing anything larger than 16oz soft drinks.

This has been going on for sometime, its not new. And agree with you totally about the local tax situation in most of the northeastern states.
You're right it doesn't kill thousands of people every year. It kills millions. Soda is linked to obesity and diabetes.
If we make not wearing a seat belt illegal or not wearing a helmet while riding a bike to protect people we should outlaw soda to protect people too.
This ban is just another tie up of tax payer money that is designed to have loop holes for the consumers yet limit choices from businesses. It is equivalent to allowing shoppers to purchase bags upon bags of coffee beans from a shopping center while limiting starbucks to sell only small cups of brewed coffee to customers. It isn't doing anything to eliminate health issues.
The principle design is to limit consumption by minors but, in all reality, It real...

Now they are going to use this as an excuse to slow down their already snail-pace Network Delusion rollout.
