Sprint Hopes 600MHz Auction Permits Joint Bidding
Bad Idea
Anyone who teams up with Sprint will find two things working against them.
1. Sprint doesnt have capital to put into bidding for an appropriate amount of spectrum, or building it out. Just look at their own network that they barely finance, and have done a piss poor job of boosting the signal, let alone building out what they did have prior to their merger with Softbank, and look how bad it got AFTER the merger.

I have always contended that Sprint and T-Mobile have been puppets on a string for the big two. My views have not changed. I would give anything to keep the two's hands off anymore spectrum unless they are willing to offload some to carriers other than to each other. The dange...
