The management books said, if a provider it's not meeting your expectations simple get another provider,

But I don't think sprint knows to much about management,

Well, I'm pretty sure their management team knows more than most of us. But, maybe you should write to the company and schlep your intuitive nature on them.

Easier said than done. They were already using the 3 top network vendors, Ericcson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Samsung. If those top companies couldn't meet Sprint's timetable, image what would have happened if they changed mid-build. They'd still probably be stuck in mid-build until 2015.

Boy, did you leave yourself wide open...

"They were already using the 3 top network vendors, Ericcson, Alcatel-Lucent, and Samsung."
>>> And WHO, do you think, chose to outsource all of network operations AND upgrades to outside firms? Hmmm...let's think about that...oh, yeah! It was SPRINT MANAGEMENT that decided to outsource daily operation of their networks to Ericsson AND all ugrades to the three comp...

Sprint is number three. Considering that VZW and AT&T are wealthy, powerful legacy beneficiaries of the massive bell group years ago, the best any other carrier can hope for is to obtain number three. Since Sprint is positioned as such, I'm wondering what the issue is here?

Sprint has done remarkably well the last four years in what they had to work with. While the other carriers are just placing overlays on their respective networks, Sprint has completely torn down and is rebuilding its network. Not cheap. Not easy. And certainly not just to lose customers. But, because they want to hold the number three position and give its customers a great experience. This is not another excuse. Sprint's position is to get rid of all the duct tape ...

Brilliant post. You hit the nail on the head. Heaven forbid you posted that on s4gru.You would have been reprimanded and banned. All because you simply told the truth. Something Sprint users just can't seem to handle.

Sprint should have had the mother all networks at this point. They practically have all the spectrum in the world. But as you said, they come up with nothing but excuses and excuses. Look what T-Mobile has done.

Sprint will never look good in JJinNYC's eyes. They are not out to please JJinNYC but rather for those that understand the need to allow progression against a very polarized industry. One that changes quickly. Corporate has an obligation to tear down its old network that has been tacked together over the years and begin to rebuild a brand new one. Sprint knows what Tmobile is doing. Sprint knows what VZW is doing. Sprint knows what AT&T is doing. But, most importantly JJinNYC, Sprint, itself, knows what it is doing. You seem to have this all envisioned premise that Sprint has no clue of how to run a billion dollar business yet they are maintaining a number three carrier status with millions of satisfied customers.

If you have any compla...
