If the past is any indicator, past performance could mean very interesting changes for Sprint, and influence the US market...

First, I'd like to say that I wish other PA writers could write this well. This is one of the few articles I've read in some time that I've enjoyed and provides useful information.
As for the article topic itself, I'm hoping the deal is approved and doesn't hit a bump along the road because we all know Sprint needs help. From the sound of it, Son seems to know what he's doing with Vodafone in Japan and it may help Sprint get a boost against the top 2. Above all, I'm interested in the probability of Japan's tech coming over to the U.S., and from the looks of Sprint's line-up it would be invaluable to it in the future if it did.

You might want to proofread your own comment before bashing other people. Just a thought.

Piece by piece America is being owned by someone else.

All too true... but, also unfortunately true is that there's no one to else blame but Americans.

i'd be more excited about this news if sprint wasn't a cdma carrier.

CDMA blows. Always hated it, yet only carriers I have been on are CDMA once you fulfill your contract you should be free to use the phone wherever you want.Hope LTE resolves the issue later on.

HOWEVER a lot of ppl probably wouldnt even want to keep their phones for that long anyway. I have a hard time keeping one for a year. Now days by the time the ink dries on the receipt of the new phone you just bought is already outdated. BUT i understand your point though

I still have a bunch of my old phones as "backups". But would rather let family abroad have them. Unfortunately they use gsm and are not compatible.
