$print? $
With Sprint having the first quarter in 3 years grossing more gains than losses; and the still surplus in moneys incoming.. (no sprint isnt in debt before everyone goes ranting).. I would think they would be able to afford more investments into their 4G network?
Does this hint toward another reason for a merger?
...
Not sure but time will tell, but there are other options, TMO/TD investing into Clear and either continuing with wimax or the smarter course dump it and go LTE and or doing what the Canadian cdma carriers do, use hspa+ as their 3g alternative. Which would be a great idea.
Moving away from dying cdma would be a very smart move. Merging isn't really needed, but a different business model is a good idea.

CDMA = Verizon & Sprint
USA = WIN
GSM = AT&T & T-MO
International = WIN
CDMA is a much better technology in this country compared to GSM.. so dying? Meh..
...
GSM is also dying, though, since carriers are looking at 4G.
I would actually like to see Sprint and T-Mo merge and deploy an LTE network. Sprint has the spectrum and head-start on a new network build-out with Clear, and the extra assets of T-Mo could help speed up the process.

GSM isn't dying, LTE is an evolution of GSM.

Seriously. Anyone can determine what technology they are stepping up to next. The reason for switching to a new technology? The old one is obsolete? GSM is NOT LTE. So GSM is a dying technology. Just as CDMA is.
