Sprint to Fight 'Ma Bell Duopoly'
Didn't Sprint...
Sour grapes by Sprint? No question. I was blasted for saying that Sprint should not be allowed to buy T-Mobile and I surely do not believe AT&T should be able to. Hell, the jobs lost in the Alltel "merger" were bad enough. What happens when a company four times that size is absorbed? It's a terrible deal.

T-Mobile should have, from the get-go, ended up being bought out be someone not currently in the game who will take their profits and put them back into the business instead of sending them back to Europe.
Finally, finally, why I'm not so upset about this. If ANY US carrier tried to buy into a euro carrier, this defecation storm would in sue, and you know what, I understand. I also understand certain, not all assets should be held by US corporations (not that they're great) I think telecommunications is one of them. At least majority ownership. Point is, TMO-US was going to be sold, its how is the point. Don't see Google, Comcast, GE, or any other company stepping up to the plate.
The next 2yrs sure are going to be very, very interesting.
Sprint tried to be the old guy at a yardsale talking something down and then feigning disinterest only to find out someone gladly paid the asking price and split with the thing he wanted.
First, DT wanted entirely too much for T-mobile. Sprint offered a reasonable amount and DT refused. DT wanted far more the T-mobile is worth and AT&T coughed it up to simply push the Duopoly.
Second, Sprint is not some old guy at a yard sale. It is advocate for consumer rights. They are fighting because they have always had the best interest of the customer in mind and this megacorp will only serve to raise prices and prevent competition.
So before you insult a company that is trying to do what is best for the consumer perhaps you should check your facts.

If you think sprint actually cares about consumers then your funny. Right now there trying to save themselves under the...

The only thing that was mentioned on any site including this one , was that t-moblie and sprint were in talks. There weren't any offers made public.
I'm guessing what your talking about were statements for analysts saying how much t-mobile is worth???
I can give you a step by step instruction on how to use a browser and a search tool too if you'd like.
You know. Just in case you can't do it yourself.
