Not so independent now are we Mr Bond...

Sorry, that joke just wrote itself.

I'm sure you're wishing that it unwrote itself as well.

Translation: One of Sprint's partners bought another of Sprint's partners. Nothing will change from a customers perspective.

Not really exciting news.

This didn't go so well the last time it happened....Airgate PCS, purchasing IPCS.

IPCS is now in Bankrupt and Airgate PCS has had to cut about half of its workforce, and it's stock is now delisted from Nasdaq. They went from 60+ a share to less than 10 cents per share in about a year.

Now if Sprint moved into do something about this situation, that would be exciting news. I imagine they will right at the brink of Airgate turning off it's network. Sprint will have to step in to keep it's service up.
