Sprint to Fight 'Ma Bell Duopoly'
loosing faith in Sprint by the minute...
First, Sprint started the acquisition frenzy a few years ago with their purchase of Nextel, which was one of the worst mergers ever, and one that they have never recovered from. Next, Verizon buys Altel and we don't hear a peep from Sprint about unfair to competition. Then, they attempt to acquire T-Mobile and fail (which would have been a bigger blunder than the Nextel merger) but then they cry foul when AT&T buys T-Mobile which uses the same technology and actually makes sense!! Sprint is crying because they, yes THEY, screwed up but don't want others to be...

Now, I think Dan Hesse has done quite a bit to improve Sprint, he had nothing to do with the Nextel merger. They would have been better off trying for US Cellular or something. But, I do agree, worry less about this merger, worry more about improving service and perception about Sprint. I recently did a Wikipedia search on carriers throughout the world.

in fact in the past 3 months i have seen more improvement to att's offerings then i have in the past 4 years i worked for them. They now offer a list which works a lot like the "my faves" t mobile has/had. they have mobile calling to any wireless carrier. not to mention they are greatly expanding on their smartphone selection and not just relying on the iphone.
i personally think there are some cool things ahead for att customers.
I use an LG Ally on Verizon and my last billing cycle used 5.3gigs. Can't do that on ATT, and if I did it would be way, way, too expensive.
Smartphones on ATT are absolutly useless!
These wireless bills are very, very expensive, and I intend to get my monies worth.
