| very misleading headline, Karl Your headline makes it seem like Sprint came and said that it was a done deal that prices would increase once LTE was fully deployed. In reality, Hesse only acknowledged the possibility of that occurring. Now, i happen to think that it's likely that plans will be reorganized at some point I've network vision is close to completion, but come on, distorting what people actually say for a sensationalist headline is not cool.
And still beating the 'Sprint is getting rid of unlimited data' drum, eh? I guess even a broke clock manages to be right twice a day. |

| 9 out of 10 times Sprint will raise rates. Someone has to pay for those upgrades and it won't be Sprint out of their own pocket. They should be using that $10 smart phone charge their customers on TOP of their regular plan to pay for the network. |

said by Mojo 77 :AKA price hikes. CEO said there may be price hikes, article indicates there may be price hikes.
That's not what the HEADLINE to the article indicated before it was changed. Somebody doesn't have their thinking cap on today. Come back when you have some intelligent to contribute, Anon. |

DarnellP, it says the CEO hints at price hikes, which he did. No question about that. Also show me a CEO who says something along these lines and then doesn't hike the rate.

Ptrowski, that's what it says now. That's not how it originally read. Karl changed the headline |

kudos:4 | What was the original headline? |
|
| I honestly don't remember exactly how it read and i don't want to misquote it least i be guilty of pretty much the same thing i complained about. The way it read though more or less have the impression that Sprint will raise rates as opposed to the corrected headline which correctly identifies that Hesse intimated that Sprint may raise rates once they're finished. |

kudos:4 | So let's be honest here. When the CEO makes a comment like that there is most likely a snowball's chance in hell the rates will not be increased. |

You're still missing the point, ptrowski. What you think, i think or Karl thinks will happen in the future is irrelevant to my point. You can read between the lines all you like. However, you can't make a headline stating something that the person or company being written about didn't actually say. |

|
| I'm sure that they will raise rates at some juncture. No need to refer back to this thread since whether they raise rates or not is irrelevant to my point which you're still apparently not comprehending. |
