Sprint’s stock slid more than 9 percent after the company announced a
$29.45 billion fourth-quarter loss because of a huge write-down
related in part to its merger with Nextel Communications. The company
also said it was suspending the payment of its dividend and had
borrowed $2.5 billion through a revolving credit facility.
Deep, deep trouble, as I've been predicting all along.

I guess I am missing your point. Reliable financial commentators called
the "merger" stupid as soon as it was announced.

It doesn't take a genius to see the problems that would arise from trying to
combine two established carrieres; one based on CDMA and on on iDen. Don't
give yourself too much credit.
Also, why the massive cross-post? This doesn't have anything to do with any
other carrier except Sprint.

Looks like ATT Wireless from a few years ago, pre-Cingular.
You blathered (falsely, I might add) about CDMA.
And, were corrected - multiple times.
Now, you are trying to claim some sort of credit???
For being WRONG?? (as to the cause of Sprint's problems)
You certainly are one piece of work...

WiMAX will save their ass and it looks like it they need it ASAP.

Not likely. There have thousands of cellular voice communications
users and a mere fraction of potential data user, who in many areas
can get faster speeds via DSL or cable.
But didn't the Nextel acquisition cost $29.7 billion?

Texas Instruments, one of the world's largest semiconductor
manufacturers, is sounding the alarm over the demand for 3G phones.
The company said one of its major clients had sharply cut back on its
orders. Though TI declined to name the customer, analysts are
speculating it is Nokia, TI's largest customer for mobile chipsets.

Posting rumors, John? I thought that was not allowed in this group. At
least according to you it's not.
