T-Mobile will do great as a value carrier, just like they have been so far. T-Mobile understands that they belong in the value market, and they're taking excellent steps to advance in that position.

I am referring to down the road......If they own 70% of Sprint and turn the company around in 4 years with pulling a yearly profit and boost subscribers than they could sell that company easy for 2-3...

That's certainly possible. However, when the company's value goes up, so does the amount of money you'd have to pay to buy it. It's not going to be easy to find a buyer looking to drop that much cash....

the public would be buying their shares. If the price goes from 7-21 in 4 years they can easily sell off their 70% over the course of a year without ruining share price

Also thats why i am personally more tuned to the idea of a US corporation buying up and investing into sprint because it could end up keeping 60 billion US dollars in the US market and not Japan....

No, I was under the impression that only one entity could own 70% of a company. Yes, of course I know it doesn't have to be a single buyer. That still doesn't mean Softbank can just dump the company...

true true. It would have been smart for a US company to buy or any company to buy sprint wen it was at 2.xx dollars. Its at 5 bucks now...or 7. Not sure if prices jumped that high after announcement....

I'm all for the deal. The U.S. has been lagging behind in mobile data speeds and standards. I'm hoping that having an outsider with their experience can improve that situation for Sprint and force...

alright i typed the first sentence wrong and i have read over it 10 times and can't remember what i was thinking...oh well. Maybe speed is the same is they used the spectrum or speed eh whatever...

my only worry is about the money going to be stripped out of our country and brought to Japan :/

Aww..poor AT&T. They might get to have some real competition now, and they already started whining. They are free to buy carriers from other countries, just like Softbank did.

I don't see the difference. Sprint sucks and has for years, on top of being a company that loses $900 million a year because they don't know how to run a business or get their network working. I used...

Yep, that's true. Figured we were talking carriers here - thought that was kind of implied.

Good info on the spectrum openings, I hadn't heard most of that. It's impossible to disagree about the pending death of CDMA, the shift to LTE pretty much ensures that CDMA will become an increasingly...

Just for reference, the same thing happens in reverse frequently. In Mexico, it's not legal for a non-Mexican citizen to own property, but non-citizens can create a company which can own property....

At&t doesn't see Sprint/Clearwire as a current threat due to lack of funds/global influence, whereas Softbank will have the funds to invest and global influence to push for better global roaming...

You're right. Sprint sucks. The whole point of this buyout is to try and make them not suck again (yes, there was a time when they didn't suck). However, if you seriously think that having AT&T and...

Softbank can't afford to do that. Sprint doesn't make a profit right now, and hasn't in ages, so there's no money to take back to Japan. The only choice Softbank has here is to pump money into Sprint...
