sprint as an acronym? this is new to me.

the origional name was united telacom. in the 1980s they had a joint ventrue with GTE to build nationwide fiberoptics. the new company was named GTE Sprint. sprint refered to the enhanced speeds and capacity. when GTE left the venture the new company was simple renamed sprint. other then that i am not aware it is an acronym. but i could be wrong

so what is the acronym for verizon? or cingular? how about nextel? 🙄

Nope there is no acronym. "insider" is just plain ignorant.

I just wanted to challenge you.
Dragsbae, you may want to call corp. and let them know they never existed.

Here is legal documents of this "made up name"

How old are you?

That sounds like a challenge the kids that I used to work with at a community center would throw down. 😛
