Undoing the Sprint Nextel Merger

As a legacy Nexteler still swimming in Sprint waters, I can say a couple things. I thought I shed the Bell-head mentality when I dumped Useless Waste 14 years ago. Distressing to see it in full force in OP. If you aren't on the Campus, you've missed the center of the universe. I just finished a project idential in most respects to one I did at Nextel. At Nextel, we did it in three months and were wildly successful. At Sprint, it took me 2 1/2 years, it's now done and handed over to managers that have no clue as to what basic telephony is who are already driving it into the ground. My iDen coverage today is worse than it was when we went commercial in 1994, and that's saying something! Customer Scare gets scarier, the Bell heads still harp about process and procedure, the daily conference calls get longer and the new boss is the same as the old one. Personally, I voted to fire the BOD at the last shareholder meeting. Perhaps if enough people do the same, we might see some results. Hesse talks a good game, but his managers aren't listening any more than Foresee's were. The bureaucracy still rules. Sure hate to see that the 15+ years I have invested in this appear to have been for nought.
