| Sayonara? Been with Sprint a long time. It's already unlikely that, if ever we decide to go with smartphones, we'd go with Sprint, anyway, but this'd put the final nail in the coffin for me.
Why doesn't Sprint really do it up right and sell itself to China Mobile?

| So just because Sprint would be owned by a non US company you wouldn't do business with them? A TON of products come from there and China, I'm not sure how you manage to get around such a thing. |

When I have a choice between a U.S. firm and a non-U.S. firm, and the U.S. firm is roughly competitive, I'll choose the U.S. firm every time.
The only exception to that rule is the thing that calls itself "AT&T."

Yorktown, VA | Then you might have a problem if this goes through as you seem to have eliminated everyone but Verizon....Verizon Wireless is 50% owned by Vodafone, A British company.

Incorrect. Vodafone owns 45% of VZW while Verizon owns the other 55% and thereby controls VZW. |

Vodaphone (Europe) owns a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless. That's just shy of a majority control we're talking here. |

49% would be even shyer, but would still not constitute a controlling interest.
