Not bad. These are two very small affiliates but it's good to have even more customers under the Sprint corporate market.

I have reason to believe that Sprint will buying another affiliate within the next couple of weeks. Let's hope it's IPCS this time.

Sounds like this merger has turned out to be more expensive than they anticipated. A couple more affiliates and they will be spending more than Cingular did for AWS.

Buying out all of the affiliates was expected. SN was just hoping that they would not have to, but none the less it was expected. This is why from the day the merger was announced that the warning of "the cost of the merger could easily exceed the synergies expected" has been repeated numerous times. SN is simply trying to work it out with some of the affiliates to keep the initial merger cost down.
