Hi Peter. You stated:

"There is no use comparing the past (3G) with the future nationwide Sprint network."

In retrospect, agreed. It's conceivable that, by the time its network is soup, 3G will already be on its way to becoming an anachronism :-)

As for the fool piece, yes.. churn is a critical factor. But if the fools wanted to be consistent with their stated goal of looking at trends instead of churn rates, then wouldn't it have been more informative for the reader if they'd shown actual subscription numbers?

IIRC, Sprint-Nextel made a claim not too long ago, which I found a bit curious, concerning not holding subs to contractual terms. Am I mistaken about this? If this is true, then I could envisage a rush of users interested in doing try-buys while still subscribed to their then-existing provider, which would have the effect of muddying up these churn analyses, somewhat. Don't you think?
