The key take away:
Sprint has devised a strategy into 4g that is network agnostic compared to others..that means they can bring in any carrier, CDMA, GSM..it doesn't matter as they have the transition to LTE 4g worked out so all MOs plug in..
Basically T-Mobile blew it on getting a 4G strategy ..
Long term Sprint and T-Mobile will merge..
What does Sprint get?
Cash to prop up ClearWire..
Sprint has just as much to loose..ClearWire bankruptcy as T-Mobile if merger fails..
