An unlikely union? (Completely hypothetical)

<p>Earlier...i happened to b locked in a very excellent conversation. The conversation was all over the place, we were bouncing all type of ideas around, speaking on future devices coming out for grand companies. HTC, LG, we were speaking about a little bit of everything. Then i spoke on lightsquared, and a grand idea landed...</p>
<p>This would technically be a joint article so...that person knows that they wrote it mainly not i. But in the middle of this conversation they said...what if T-Mobile and sprint merged, i mean T-Mobile has been looking to sell for quite awhile. When they said that...i began to think, it would be an excellent idea, but how does that work? A cdma network, an a GSM network merging? Does it really work out? Well i mean...originally wasn't Nextel that type of network? With similar cards...switch the card out when you received a new device? Dont quote me...but lets break this down. Recently sprint receives the iPhone (okay its been a little while now) they spent more than they made getting the iPhone, but they did receive a great amount of new subscribers thanks to them landing the iPhone... In the long run if they retain subscribers they make some if that money back so it would be fine. But on the shirt term they need something to help them...</p>
<p>On the other hand T-Mobile...theyve been doing solid" no negative news has been coming out about them, they have lte and everything. They manage their bandwidth with limits which is really a smart idea. They know what they're doing .....sprint is in the middle of launching their lte network so if they merge and share lte networks they bring subscribers over and pique all kinds if interest. Not to mention, sprint has a deal with lightsquared to launch even more lte, now lightsquared has been trying to get up for quite awhile now, an upstart lte company looking to setup with sprint now and grow uncontrollably ... Couple that with a merger with T-Mobile and you have one of the greatest companies of all time ...2 slightly large companies merging, with 3rd party support they could actually rival Verizon....which most time i never understand how Verizon owns so many subscribers their prices are insane...but you get what you pay for they truly are the most reliable network. That is the truth their call quality is top notch. They keep the selection of phones in constant rotation...which is actually a bad thing but they make it work for them. Sprint doesn't have the pull to continue releasing devices at this speed (and neither does T-Mobile)</u></p>

Now this is just an idea between two people something like this really happening .... Is slim to none as far as chances...but think about it as we did you never know with our economy what may happen.
