Nobody is doing WiMax but Sprint. Verizon and AT&T are going LTE.
From what I saw, I could easily be wrong all of this comes from analyst and speculators, the combined Sprint/T-Mobile would still be third.
As usual, is Sprint for sale? I can offer to buy anything but somebody has to sell it.
If there's nothing in it for them they won't.
Why would any company really want to combine two different companies with different structures?
Verizon took over Alltel. There's was no "work" involved. I know people that had Alltel and nothing happened. Their bill started coming from Verizon.
With this acquisition they'd had to convert to GSM or CDMA or run two different systems. Money or money.
One article starts:
CEO Dan Hesse was counting on the Palm Pre to save his company, well, that failed.
hmm.. well, OK..
I doubt Sprint was counting on the Pre since they didn't even really push the phone.
Sprint is getting any number of phone soon that will surely out sell the Pre. I'm dern sure the Pixi will. The Hero might be close, The InstinctHD (anything with HD has to be a winner right?), The InstinctQ, The Touch Pro2, once the price drops to something tolerable (although the Touch Pro never dropped).
The any mobile plan, that puts smartphones on plans distinctly cheaper than other carriers and could bring over quite a few especially with all the new phones.
So that statement doesn't seem to carry any weight.
T-Mobile is already in a "combining" with Orange. sure it's Europe but are they really going to start another "merger" before one is finished?
Sources said Deutsche Telekom (DT) could submit a bid for Sprint
Notice the bold print, It not will. They could or they could not.
