Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / May 2008Sprint Credit Rating Cut to Junk
And I so wanted to go back to Sprint from AT&T. [snipped from bloomberg.com ] Sprint Credit Rating Cut to Junk at Standard & Poor's May 1 (Bloomberg) -- Sprint Nextel Corp., the U.S. wireless company that lost more than a million contract customers last year, had its credit rating cut to junk by Standard & Poor's. The carrier's corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings were lowered two levels to BB from BBB- because of its deteriorating operating performance, S&P said today in a statement. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601204&sid=a5B54sB05zvI&refer=technology http://tinyurl.com/66jaw7 > And I so wanted to go back to Sprint from AT&T. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > lowered two levels to BB from BBB- because of its deteriorating > operating performance, S&P said today in a statement. There's apparently a deal in the works between Sprint, Comcast, Intel, Google, and Clearwire, to revive the whole WiMax thing. Perhaps Sprint will be acquired by one of these companies as part of this deal.

Not a rumor - report in today's (05/05/08) Wall Street Journal that T-Mobile's parent company is looking to acquire Sprint. Here's a link to the online version of the story: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120994107407665981.html?mod=djemTECH Actually I can see some benefits for T-Mobile - for one, a decent data network (their present data network is a BAD joke).

I wonder if Lee Iacocca, Jack Welch, Frank Perdue, Jim Perdue, Dave Thomas, Jeff Bezos, Jay Bush, Bill Gates, Roger Enrico, Lou Gerstner, or Michael Eisner, among others, would agree with you... :-) SignatureDutch > jgrov...@hotmail.com wrote: > >> And I so wanted to go back to Sprint from AT&T.
