Long shot risk but still a little nerve wracking.

lol this coming from someone on T-Mobile who is not doing all that great either? How...ironic...
I use Sprint for business.
T-Mobile just got $4B from the AT&T walk-away, so I'd say they're doing ok.

What would the end result of bankruptcy be for the Sprint subscribers? Bit sucky to see this article a week after switching from tmo to sprint -_-
T-Mobile didn't get the money they got the use of spectrum. The money went to DT who kept it. I was on T-Mo for 7+ years I still follow their stuff they are still not doing well.
They're doing better than Sprint - I didn't see an article like this for TMO. lol
Wait til the middle of next quarter. projections will wildly change...

Not to mention the HuffPost *loves* spreading FUD.

Sounds like someone is just suffering from sour grapes because Sprint objected to the T-Mobile/AT&T merger.
Probably nothing, we'd still get our phone bills, Sprint would just be out of debt but not in the position to do anything else as far as expanding their network and service. Possibly a buyout would be likely.
Maybe this is what they need, the reorganizing BK....Shed Nextel and replace the decision makers who've been making all the wrong choices the past 2-3 years. Sometimes I feel like they aren't even trying anymore and they have given up, but on occasion a glimmer of hope comes to surface. I've been with them almost 10 years.... They went from bad, to great, then to mediocre.
C'mon Sprint! Do it for Johnny!

You know what is most troubling, no linking to the sources report. And any analysis can make up a bunch of junk and put it online. They do it all the time to numerous companies. This doesn't mean it is true at all.
The worst thing I can see happening from them going bankrupt is being bought out by big red. which would hopefully mean better service for all... It's a reach but I can dream...
Thanks, but no. I don't want to even entertain the idea of them being bought out by Verizon or AT&T and us losing our unlimited data and decent pricing plans.
Maybe I'm a low end user but the data speeds I encounter are more than adequate for what I need from my phone. I'll hold tight with Sprint and see how the LTE integration plays out.
Doesn't sound like there's any basis to it.
I guess they did make a deal with the devil

Sprint can't go bankrupt. If they do they will be bailed out and it won't be by another carrier. In fact there is a federal law that states service will not be terminated due to lack of funding where as needed. Sprint talked about this when it was speculated that Clearwire could go bankrupt

Just so there's no confusion, I wasn't presenting this article as absolute fact but it addresses rumors pertaining to our carrier so I tossed it up here for discussion.
Absolutely, prob wouldn't even notice much of a difference as a customer. Many companies go bankrupt and their clients sometimes don't even know. Tis the new America
