Is Sprint the next to Fall?
Look at this trend
MCI: GONE
AT&T: GONE
Sprint is now the only long distance carrier remaining in the cellular game...could they fall as well?
Sprint will be the next carrier to sell out. And due to the compatibility of their equipment VZW is the only company that should or could buy out Sprint. I would expect there to be only 3 major carriers by the end of 2005.
1.) The Federal Government gets involved and breaks things up. Remember AT&T in the 1970's!
2.) Large Corporations have no competition and therefore rest on the past. Remember the Big Three Automakers in the 1980's Vs: the Japanese?
3.) Consumers don't benefit by competitive cost pressure downward, and see choice and innovation dry up.
