Having worked closely with Sprint while building our MVNO at Charge (https://charge.co) I can tell you that there are enough systemic issues within their billing and activation systems that they won't be able to become a dumb pipe, even if they wanted to.

At this point I'd bet on a GSM carrier like T-Mobile to get there first.

I actually designed and built a decent chunk of Amp'd Mobile's backend integration with Verizon Wireless. I'd be pretty shocked if anyone were more difficult to integrate with.
