Sprint: Genius or going under?
So I've been reading about the speculation of Sprint going under. Now as much as this may be a terrible practice, perhaps they are just looking for the best way to maximize profits while they are still in it. The more they piss off customers they more likely they leave. 639,000 customers left. I'm sure some were out. I'm sure some complained until they got out. But how many were just so fed up they paid the ETF? Even if say half did, that's $63.9 million in pocket and generally a company does make more if someone cancels than if someone pays their monthly bill. Hell I had a customer six weeks away that just wanted to cancel and port right now. Wouldn't listen to me about just paying the next bill and being done, they just paid the ETF. So ma...

Its a theory...but not a sound one.
My line of thinking on that is. if they just wanted ppl to blow them off and pay the ETF, they would have been announcing "....looking into Chapter 11" like most companies do, so the execs dont looks bad.
I think its more of restructuring comming up. They are probably looking at having some sort of Consulting Firm relaying the groundworks of business. its gonna take a few years, but i think it might put them a bit ahead of the game in the end.
639,000 ppl ......quick shot of cash...sounds like upgrade time.

we should ask talia about this matter, she seams to have all the facts on sprint and is very passionate in her responses. 😁

At less than $9 a piece, its now a prime takeover target as well.... think about.. the bids are on for teh 700mhz spectrum.... who wants a guess at Google/Sprint? or maybe even some asian carrier listing a bid.
Would not be surprised at some merger/takeover comming out soon.
Nice to be a shareholder right now. 😁
