      Sprint's 'Against the Odds' Turnaround Looks Less and Less Likely
      Jeez. Back to McDonalds or the farm ? Get real. The latest outsourcing craze is to out/in-source to work at home sites in the midwest. Great tech skills in a far lower cost of living area. I doubt Kansas City is a farm community at all anymore. If this is the level of opinion you're putting out, I really don't think you're qualified to give much of an opinion at all as to how Sprint will do.

      How do you know Sprint has a "culture of fear" ?

      I think the best thing they can do is to leverage their assets and people, and get back to their core business lines. They far exceed their competitors (Verizon and AT&T) at adopting new high speed data technologies, and making services and plans available at a reasonable cost. Sprint far exceeds AT&T and Verizon in "open access" as far as applications available, creative handset designs, etc. The HTC mogul I carry is well maintained and is pretty much state of the art in mobiles right now. It has EVDO RevA, GPS, and I have 6 GB of music on it and still have 2 GB free. It's basically the equivalent of a 3G iPhone. Yet I've had it since October of last year. Apple / AT&T have yet to even ship 1 3G unit.

      So get back to the core business, fix it up, and then get back to WiMAX when the time is right. I also don't see any of the peripherals/subscriber units that were now supposed to be widely available at Best Buy, etc. WiMAX is too early.
