Nevertheless, I don't see how the technology hurdles that would have
to be overcome make this deal workable. While it's true Sprint did
ignore the brand and/or manage the integration somewhat poorly, I
think a large part of that is because integrating two carriers using
completely different technologies and business models is quite tough
no matter who tries it.
