Sprint Nextel: The AOL of Wireless

The stock closed today nearly 25% off the high this week, and at a 9 year low. I stated that expense for the impairment of goodwill would approch $31 billion, and it was actually $29.5 billion. I stated in the article that lost customers in Q1 would be a significant issue and reduce forward revenues, and the company announced this week expected customer losses of 1.2 million in this first quarter. VZ announced they added 2 million customers in Q4 07. I also approached the issue of the huhe debt left from the Nextel acquisition. What, as you say, is the fundamental analysis in which the article is short? Again the stock closed today down nearly 25% from the high this week.

Roger, good comments. What are your thoughts concerning MSFT's future benefits of deriving online advertising revenues? Additionally, any thoughts about alternative strategic acquisitions by MSFT to better position their model for the future? Thanks.
