Deutsche Telekom Considering Sprint Nextel Bid
Tell Uncle Fritz "NEIN!"
2) Technologically speaking, this would be a nightmare. Remember how smooth the Sprint Nextel merger went? Exactly.
3) I don't want to say T-Mobile worldwide is a bad carrier, but they are.
4) Sprint is our last remaining independent carrier that isn't tied in with some major phone company. Sprint has screwed up in the past but I think they're on the right track now.
2. Dual mode CDMA/GSM phone would do the trick. The Tour supports both.
Handsets wouldn't be the issue. The issue would come from running two seperate networks. From a cost/benefit standpoint it would make less sense than a consolidated network.
You'd run into issues of network overlaps, and areas were you'd have towers in place but some of your customers couldn't use them due to either having a CDMA or GSM handset (because so few handsets have support for both GSM and CDMA)
But in honesty, I don't see T-Mobile USA actually coming up with the money to make this happen. It is a network that is hurting. DT tying up all of their available capital to buy the Sprint network doesn't make much sense.
While I agree T-Mobile is not strong enough to make something like this happen, they are not the true player, Deutsche Telekom is, and that is a company with much more strength than what we give them credit for as we in the US associate them with T-Mobile.
And from Sprint's prospective, they would actually need to pay above the listed price. Sprint is pretty confident that with signature devices, a lower cost point than the competition, and a dramatic improvement in customer service scores over the last year Sprint is feeling confident that they can make some pretty big gains. Selling that away at the reported market value doesn't make a lot of sense.
maybe Tmobile can rid their head of silly little fantasies
and sprint will be 100% american it can continue its movement into wimax.
and save everyone else the trouble, pain, grieve, and money.
im just saying.
