Meanwhile Sprint has rarely failed an outgoing call from me and generally has the best coverage during a sporting event. But I am a bigger texter than caller/
Sprint didn't participate in the auction because they already own spectrum for WiMAX (which they'll be launching under the XOHM brand). Google did not win spectrum BTW, they just helped to make the price nice and high.

I don't see Sprint going anywhere soon. Their new CEO seems to understand the position they are in, and is clearly doing a good job of turning things around.
