1 merger, 2 merger....Verizon and TMobile merger? Nah....TMobile all alone.....

Ok, if we're going to be reading into some things here, let's also read into the details. Nextel and sprint are talking about mergind...first of all, it's going to be interesting to see how iDEN and CDMA are going to mix. Or maybe the "50-50" share holder split means the two company's can't hold thier own financially and need each others back up. It did say the new company would be a take off sprints landline service, but would still be called "Sprint-Nextel". Where as cingular absorbed AWS, their name, network, and failing company. As I've heard others state that work for those other 2 companies, and I'm not sure how much truth there is to it, is the two networks are at about their full capacity and simply can't keep up with the demand for...

Nextel is the financially most stable, profitable cell company in the industry. They also have the highest ARPU, lifetime subscribe value and churn as low as Verizon. This merger is all about bringing together two companies who focus on technology and the result will be incredible.
...
Well, in all things considered, nextel is a very old company in the cellular industry, starting in 1987.

Yet, even T-Mobile, who has been in operation since 2002 overtook your customer base as of Feb 17th, 2004.

As far as ARPU, and churn, nextels cost is very high, and the service it provides is not geared towards the every day person, therefore the market is more consistant with it's current subscribers, because nextel has unique solutions which not many others offer, making churn low. However, nextel is not for everyone.

I agree the PTT feature of Nextel was originally the only differentiator. The reason I sell Nextel so readily has to do with all the data products offered, which is the true driver of their ARPU. Blackberry aside no other carrier offers the GPS, wireless barcoding, wireless credit card and custom J2ME and WAP solutions that Nextel does.
...
I completely agree, however the only thing about nextel really, is that they target a much more specific market than other carriers, primarily business clientele. Some of the services are not cheap to provide, therefore costly to have. However, with the portion of the market they have cornered, it's considered by most a necessity over a luxury, or even convienence to maintain the type of services they (nextel subscribers) are accostomed to using. Very few people do I know that have nextel, have it solely for personal use.

if Tmo runs policy right
the customer gain will come up around 50% in 2005 (after minus the customer loss)
if not, nobody knows
and, Tmo will run roaming agreement with CellOne, WW, Cenntennial without buying out

And blah blah blah Ming.....we still dont fully understand what you're trying to say.

BluetoOrange22 your negative input on virtually every post concerning T-Mobile is not only childish but unnecessary. You provide little if any benefit to those of us who wish to become more knowledgeable on a subject you so obviously dispise. I have registered as a member (fan of this site for 1 year) strictly to request a more mature attitude from YOU. If you cannot or will not respect the countless individuals who post here then we cannot & will not respect you. A persons computer skills & or language barriers they face are irrelevant if they have valuable input to share in THIER forum. Good day Sir

Im not asking or looking for your respect. Just offering MY feedback on the public forum.

I refuse to reply to this because I stated I never, ever reply bo22 or know it all post again, and, if the content is insulting against me, I'll report
and BluetoOrange22 is nothing but 100% T-Mobile enemy, always wants T-Mobile disappear in the entire world, period!!!
and nobody would reply the BU??SH??

Well, uh, you sort of did just reply, ming ;)
And no, its not called an intellegence thing, it's called a language barrier. It's obvious english is not ming's first language and we should applaud him/her (?) for doing his best to learn and to try and speak it. Also, to keep up, and quite good at that with topics in a forum such as this.
You know, in foreign countries, if we were to g...

my opinion of the merger
T-Mobile and Verizon will gain customers because the consistency

I know some ATTWS customers, they're noticed to purchase a Cingular phone in order to keep using the service
the truth is: as long as the phone unlocked, they don't have to buy a new phone
ATTWS is the only provider was losing customers, because the presence was unknown, this affects customers' confidence and employees' morale
if Sprint/Nextel merger is done, the impact will be more serious for both providers' customers, because they use different technology (CDMA/IDEN), and probably nextel customers are required to get CDMA phones (though some CDMA phones have PTT function, IDEN is dedicated for PTT), unlike Cingular and ATTWS, using same technology (TDMA and GSM)

Tmob will also have roaming agreements w/ Cingular... And I agree, Tmob does not have to merge w/ anybody to stay in the game... It looks less likely Tmob will get to be a top 3 carrier but will definitely remain in the top 5... Keep in mind in the last 2 years in this industry Tmob has remained consistent... They haven't done anything really drastic BUT have remained consistent... And consistency is not always a bad thing... They only had a couple of bad qtrs as far as I know... Good track record... Also keep in mind w/ any merger there will be cust's that leave simply bcz they're scared of the change... tmob will pick some of them up.
