There are three logos for the new company. One says just Sprint, one says "Sprint, together with Nextel" and one says "Nextel, together with Sprint". The official name of the new company is "Sprint Nextel Corporation", or so says my last check from them. (Not laid off, went elsewhere). The "go to market" name is Sprint.

I did see an article a few days ago (can't find the url now) claiming that Sprint is planning on focusing purely on wireless and spinning off their "traditional" telco/internet operations. I fully expect the spun-off company to be acquired shortly thereafter (paging Dick Notebaert...) -C On Thu, Aug 25, 2005 at 03:25:04PM -0400, Jeff Cole wrote:

Oh yeah. That's been part of the plan ever since the merger was announced. No surprises there. Bets that it will be bought up by VZ or SBC?

So let me guess - we'll have 3 wireless companies (Cingular, Verizon Wireless, Sprint) and 3 telco companies (SBC, Verizon, XYZ). Since Cingular is associated with (and part-owned by) SBC and Verizon Wireless with you can guess who yourself, that leaves the question of what will be the counterpart in the telco that is associated with Sprint Wireless. As you can see from above, I don't think that Sprint Telco will be bought by either Verizon or SBC - to me it seems more likely that we'll see it merged together with one (or more) of the other remaining large ILEC/CLEC telcos (probably XO or Qwest or maybe it'd end up being XO+Qwest+Sprint that will make up XYZ). But anyway - age of competition and deregulation and price-wars for customers in US seem soon to be coming to its end... -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net
