Deutsche Telekom May Sell T-Mobile USA to Sprint
Sprint/Nextel Merge Part 2?
I know its purely speculation and I know T-mobile isn't as bad as Nextel's quality but I would think Sprint has learned from that merge to focus on their own infrastructure then to buy into someone elses.
...
It wouldn't be as bad. I would want to turn on all radios on my future phone (LTE, Wimax, HSPA+ and RevA) that way I can test how fast the battery drains.
...
I dont think the networks will merge they may keep the entity seperate as like sprint handles virgin mobile / boost mobile but they would expand the network as well as revamp business practices.
Just IMHO.

Focus on their own infrastructure? They sold their cell towers! What infrastructure?
...
Um wow, anyone who has read my replies knows that I'm a huge Sprint fan (as well as HTC) and have been that way for years.
I just can not wrap my mind around this one. TMo has been lagging behind the curb and I find myself knowing less and less people who have their service but merging with Sprint? The whole GSM/CDMA thing I just don't get. At least iden is a stand alone platform where you don't have to play well with others as in roaming agreements.
I would hope post merger they would retain their separate identities and simply redirect the profits to the new owners because integrating would be a billing network nightmares

Agreed, billing consolidation would be nasty. But what is getting overlooked is that the Network Vision product removes the technology from the spectrum and makes it more of a software upgrade. In theory, Sprint could continue on with their own network optimization and include T-Mobile's spectrum and technology. Then decisions on moving to one platform/technology could be very easy in the next 2 years. They could operate as two seperate entities until then.

Sprint is a cellphone company, not a property management company. Not owning a physical piece of land and a tower on it won't exactly harm them and lets them focus on the core of the business, wireless communications.
The infrastructure he is talking about probably relates to making the network better, making a decision between LTE and WiMAX, getting rid of Nextel, etc.
