More good news for Sprint! Read it and weep!
maybe 3 of the 10 points have merit...and some of those may be stretches.
Not really something to toot about, especially #10.
1. Clearwire and 4G-Yeah, we went for the obvious one first, but hey, barring any major screw-ups, the Sprint-backed Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR - message board) venture will be the first to offer 4G-like services in the U.S. Both companies have said they'll have initial markets up and running in late 2008, beating a planned Verizon Wireless long-term evolution (LTE) rollout by a year.
2. Higher data revenues - kudos for that.
3. Not all customers are jumping ship - Check the numbers, Jack. Sprint added 343,000 Boost Unlimited and 183,000 wholesale and affiliate subscribers in the first quar...

yeah 300k more ghetto boost mobile crowd, thank you MTV!! hahahaha sprint sucks
...
Boost activations are money in the bank too... Actually if a BOOST customer uses many minutes at all then that customer could be pretty profitable for Sprint/Nextel. SO the dollars add up since prepaid costs so much. SO if Sprint actually added a half million Boost and wholesale customers then they didnt really lose a million customers, more like half million. AND Sprint's landline service was actually more profitable than even expected, when most landline carriers lost money, Sprint gained.

wow i guess sprint is really doing great then hahahahah drinking sprint yellow kool aid is funny
...
Thats not yellow kool aid you're drinking, or yellow snow that you eat every winter. Don't hate on Sprint because you have no life yourself. Find a hobby that doesnt involve trolling a carriers forum when you dont even use that carrier.
...
I have used sprint I was part of the imploding process LMAO...anyways BOOST mobile will not save sprint...yo MTV you gots that sucker fool haahahaha boost mobile hahahah
...
You sure do "hahaha" alot, you must be looking below your belt.
Funny, if Sprint is doing so terrible they sure can scrape up a few billion to drop into WiMax. We just got finished converting all Nextel/Sprint customers on to a brand new billion dollar state of the art billing system. Theyre even in the process of gathering ideas for "employee friendly" additions to the campus here in Overland Park.
Ill keep getting my hour long massages every 2 weeks here at the campus and enjoy lunch being catered in daily to my department, my unlimited everything for free phone line, my 10 employee advantage lines, my free Instinct the day it is released, 5% matched 401k, tuition reimbursement, and tons and tons of other perks at Sprint all da...

New to Tmbobile? Let me introduce you to their small coverage and painfully slow 2G data speeds. Troll elsewhere.

How can I be a troll? I like Sprint. At least the product. The company can use some work.

I don't know if you have ever worked in wireless but the demand for Aircards and High Speed PDA devices is not exactly booming.It has its niche but the VAST MAJORITY of customers are not looking for that right now.
I was in mangement for Sprint(above Store Manager) and I left just before Dan Hesse took over but the reputation and image that people have of Sprint as a company is so bad right now I don't think they can recover.
Gibson, ever since you claimed that demand for data cards and high speed PDA devices wasnt booming you pretty much lost any chance that someone might value what you say considering, THAT statement is totally WRONG!
Then you followed it up with a claim that you ...

And like I believe you are anything other than a first tier customer care rep. With the way you act on this site and some of the things you say there is no way I would believe you have any position that requires any sort of professionalism or class. You act like a fool and like a child.
All that I meant by my statement of above store management was that I had a little more access to reports and data that showed that the main cause of data explosion was messaging and mobile downloads. Anyways I am not getting into that arguement again because I feel like I am talking to a 13 yr old kid.
You have failed at trying to insult me, you have failed at trying to be funny and I am pretty sure you will fail the rest of your life. Keep up the Good...

So please tell us, since you are no longer a Sprint employee, what "top secret" reports did you read where it said the "data explosion" was due to "messaging and mobile downloads". Hate to tell you buddy but messaging quit going through the mobile web and using bandwidth on 99% of phones maybe 5-6 years ago!! Data services and "messaging" have little to do with each other. Go to the Sprint store, see if you find any phones whose text messaging goes through the internet. You will be hard pr...

Sounds to me like someone is pretty much calling him out on claims. I am going to have to agree with Xfort though, something does seem a little "fishy"
