| T-Mobile? I always thought it was the top 4, not the top three. According to the chart, T-Mobile has 2.5 times more subscribers than Alltel and 2.5 times the revenue of Alltel. Sprint has 1.75 times the number of subscribers as T-Mobile but that is dropping fast! -- I support the right to keep and arm bears. | |

| Revenue per Unit? Sprint?
I'm shocked that Sprint has the highest voice ARPU and is within $.40 of Verizon's data ARPU. If you exclude the two regional carriers (#9 and #10).
So much for their perception as the "discount" carrier. | |

I thought that was weird also.. especially since Verizon nickle and dimes people for everything. I wonder if perhaps ARPU literally means "handset" ... Verizon probably has more family plan users, which would artificially lower their ARPU.
I know my individual Verizon service was more expensive than my individual Sprint service was, for virtually identical plans. However, I have 4 phones on my Verizon plan now and I only pay $9.99/month each for the 3 additional phones. | |

I can't believe you couldn't get a free phone if you were a new subscriber or was it you wanted a more expensive phone and not one of the ones they offered you for free...that's my guess. | |

| Im more shocked that with Verizons future acquisitions , they would turn into a 14+ billion dollar company. That is enough to make me want to invest the rest of my savings in Verizon. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!" | |

join:2007-09-17 | Actually Sprint data ARPU is quite a bit higher on the CDMA side, way higher than Verizon. The iDen side isn't heavily data oriented so it drags down the total data ARPU. | |

| Sprint is plain junk Sorry but you what ya pay for, and Sprint has always been trash. Verizon does not nickel and dime people, its more like Sprint does that. Or messes up your bills all the time, dropped calls, terrible customer care, poor selection of phones. OH to the user that said they won't continue to bleed customers... Yeah they will, they are continuing to lose more and more, and its not 1 million more like 2 million in the first quarter. | |

| Re: Sprint is plain junk Maybe you should count the number of those million customers were iDen customers moving to another provider after the merger with Nextel.
People around here LOVE to predict doom and gloom, only however, it rarely comes true.
AOL is still around and functioning and not dead, Vonage is still here.. Comcast.. shall I keep going? | |

| I have Sprint and the only complaint I have is customer support, not the cost or the service. And they have better roaming agreements than any carrier.
It's the Nextel side bleeding customers. The CDMA side is adding, just not at the rate of others.
They need to fix customer support and dump Nextel or force them to switch to QChat/CDMA PTT and shut down iDen asap.
Sprint is too big to disappear. They are bigger than Apple, Intel and Coca-Cola. They may shrink more for a while but would still be a Fortune 200 company even if they shrunk by 50%, which won't happen. | |
