Sprint Close to Buying Nextel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the stack-and-attack dept.

NateDawg writes "After the recent merger of AT&T and Cingular, it looks like Sprint is close to buying out Nextel. According to CNet, the different networks could bring expensive problems, but that could be overcome by the diversity of the company's clients. Nextel has many corporate clients, while Sprint appeals to families and teens."

    Flame a critic, and you're probably "Insightful". If I believed the telcos had their acts together, I'd probably think these mods were astroturf.
