Wel my guess after reading all the info i can possible..i predict that by atleast 2011 Sprint-Nextel will be the biggest Wireless company...cingular has a big rate of losing customers....verizon wont have the type of 4g technology Sprint-Nextel will have....they have a plan that will make people stay longer with them even though it might cost a little more.......i am a cingular lover but when all the changes happen i will die if i dont get Sprint-Nextel....u people know it s a fact

Cingular has a big rate of losing customers? Cingular has 2.2% churn. I'd say that's looking pretty nice in comparison to Sprint's 2.7%.

There is a fat chance that Sprint-Nextel will take over both Verizon and Cingular in customer adds by 2011. Their network isn't even going to be integrated by 2010. That's five years to work out their problems before they can even get a unifited network, and by then Cingular and Verizon will have hit the ground running.

Good luck with that prediction.

And remember, there is about a 7.6 million subscriber difference between Cingular and Sprint-Nextel. Sprint-Nextel is going to have a hard time keeping up with Cingular and Verizon, let alone beat them in adds.

Last time I checked, which was after they officialy merged, Sprint-Nextel themselves claimed that they only have 44 million customers.

Let's see:


With more than 44 million wireless subscribers...

It kind of seems funny that they wouldn't have said "With More than 47 million wireless subscribers..." if you were correct.

I'll be nice and round up to 45 million.

That's still a 6.6 million subscriber gap. And that's still too big to say Sprint-Nextel will be the winner by 2011.

I do apologize on the churn numbers though. In Q2 Sprint lowered there churn to 2.2% from 2.7% in Q1.
