| uh-oh While there's some things this guy has done some things that were/are questionable for Sprint....all in all, I think he was starting to hit the nail, dead-on the head when it came to this new XOHM plan....I just hope that the next CEO doesn't fark up the XOHM plans (subsidized WiMAX cards, higher prices, no XOHM deployments until much later, etc).
It's obvious Forsee could foresee (:P) that mobile broadband was, indeed, the future.
I just hope and pray that Sprint doesn't gets put further into the past by the next CEO. | |

Ralph Whitworth of the San Diego firm Relational Investors, the same activist who shook up Home Depot and helped force out its chief executive, is agitating for a pullback in Sprint’s capital spending, a possible sale of its long-distance network and other changes after taking a stake in the company.

Dear lord the cost of unlimited text messages and internet...and don't get me started on the "normal" cellular prices for anytime minutes...and the phones from Verizion that don't have J2ME...and don't allow forced roaming...and all the discounts I have but shouldn't, and, and...
I'm seriously bothered. | |

| Harvesting a four year old crop The real mistake here was in 2003 when Sprint dumped Esrey and LeMay, their established leadership, so they could keep their same accounting firm as auditor. (The accounting firm had given Esrey and LeMay bad personal tax advice and were being sued for it, and Sprint had to either dump its auditor or its leadership because they couldn't work together. In the classic wrong choice, Sprint decided to keep the side that had fouled up and dump the execs.)
As a new CEO, Forsee then felt the pressure to "do something big", and has chased dreams since that time. Whether or not the WiMax dream pays off, Forsee is history.
Personally, I'd have thought he did something big if he just got rid of the d@mned bleepy burp that Nextel phones emit all the time. Is there some supposed purpose to that annoyance, anyway? Or is it just feeding the user's ego, saying "I'm using Nextel!" to his annoyed neighbors?

Nextels' iDEN system is not like cellular in its call setup.
The user alert is necessary.

The user alert is necessary. Yes, some sort of user alert may be necessary, based on the inherent delay in such a network. It does not need to be as loud or obnoxious as the Nextel chirp, indeed it does not need to be audible at all.
In its present form, it is as gaudy and garish as putting a label on an engagement diamond to show everyone its weight. It's just an annoying advertisement and it's one more reason some places ban cellphones.

| Sprint is on the way out. This guy lacks leadership and couldn't move the company on any initiative put forth. IMO it's too late for Sprint as they are beyond saving at this point. I too wouldn't be surprised to see Nextel spun off. After that I would expect for the remainder of the company to be sold off.
