I don't know about that. It worked for Lee Iacocca back in the 1980s at Chrysler.

What I'm trying to get at, is that T-Mobile has typically not rippled the waters with its customers. The only thing against T-Mobile is its limited coverage, and lack of 3G.

Here, T-mobile has a permanent generator sitting at every site, so does Verizon. Sprint only has two.

AT&T Corp even lost its shirt (AT&T Broadband, AT&T Wireless, all separate companies sold off to Comcast and SBC) SBC had PacBell, Ameritech, SWBell, Bell South, etc... all the baby bells put back together :uhh:
Sprint parted ways with Embarq, which was good.

The only one that strikes me as a bit unique.. is T-Mobile. Hasn't partered much with anyone, hasn't grown as much either, and yet, hasn't P.O.'d as many customers as the above carriers... still top rated by consumers. Who knows... when my contracts are up, I may go to T-Mobile.

Sprint was originally a whole bunch of affiliates working together to provide service. They never really had the coverage they claimed until now. Nextel also has been affected by iPCS as they are the last standing affiliate which is giving them problems.

But to buyout over 20 affiliates that sell and ran Sprint and Nextel towers, it's a massive undertaking and the benefits are just now starting to slowly show up. Things will come as time rolls by, but that's why Hesse is here.

The only difference is that I support Sprint for their efforts, that is all I am just glad you also understand part of the situation as well, and I can understand what you are going through as a prior Nextel customer and now Sprint customer.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272542 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 20:11:23 EDT Re: . http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272418 en102 : I don't work for, sell or support any telco or wireless corporation. I'm just saying it as I see it... as a current customer (Nextel) and potential investor. As a corporate Nextel subscriber, the network is not the greatest.

All I want is:

1. Good service
2. Good customer service
3. Good price.

The only data I use is email on my BB 7100i. If people think I'm biased against Sprint.. you should see what I have to say about Verizon and Verizon Wireless - I'd rather use smoke signals. Likewise, AT&T is not the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Don't be so quick to judge, I will tell you that right now, because it's that kind of trash that simply leaves the front page looking like garbage.

If you don't agree with my opinion that's fine but don't go labeling people you don't even know. I won't give up my faith in this company because I can see what they are trying to achieve.

If the company goes off and tanks, oh well at least they tried at the cost of billions of dollars, and maybe some new guy will try to achieve something they cannot. It's not the first time I have seen a company operating hardware that is not bridged between other technologies, and it costs billions of dollars to bring something into the market and make it work. All this thrashing about a certain company simply stiffens innovation and competition in the market place, the same thing you idiots want so bad. Without Nextel and it's superior PTT radio service, Verizon would not of been trying to make something similar to deploy on their network, and AT&T would not of been trying the same.

Hesse gives me a good vibe, and the company is undergoing a downward spiral, but I think he has the power to reverse that and set it back on track.

with a powerful EVDO network, and strong customers on both Nextel and Sprint side, Sprint-Nextel has two networks to hold and serve customers.
Sounds like someone works for Sprint/Nextel. iDEN customers have been leaving.
Soon, Sprint will have 3 networks.. and hopefully some customers to pay for it all.

Please, Hesse is fixing all the trash the previous CEO was not doing, with a powerful EVDO network, and strong customers on both Nextel and Sprint side, Sprint-Nextel has two networks to hold and serve customers.

WiMAX will be deployed, and other companies are starting to show their WiMAX enabled products, meaning that they know and have a clue of what is going on which clearly the news does not know about.

Sure WiMAX has been boasted plenty of times, but stuff like this does not happen in a month, it takes years to develop, engineer, and deploy. The only reason why EVDO was a fast roll out because it did not require a whole new layout and instead a simply upgrade of hardware on the towers instead with the same capabilities only faster data rates.

WiMAX has different distances, ranges, and speeds. It takes months to actually position towers and find the right locations and the right amount of coverage because all area's are different which is why you have road rangers driving all over the city checking coverages and fixing holes.

Stuck on the instant satisfaction BS will get you know where, and I bet it will be the same with LTE, and it will take them months to maybe a year or two to actually deploy and start selling it.
