How is that list relevant to Sprint? The Euros have a different political and economic system. Are you suggesting someone will come and save Sprint?! Why didn't they do that for the fiber optics network carriers? Sorry. I don't see the relevance. Rob

How does Sprint stack up in this area? i don't know what if anything PCS has in the way of credit lines, but considering they can't issue commercial paper anymore, i don't see why banks would want to give them credit lines. more generally, the problem i see with PCS is they have a huge amount of debt--some $14 BILLION last i checked. imho this is a big disadvantage for PCS compared to AWE. AWE was very smart to get a big investment by DoCoMo while the stock was still relatively high. of course, people who bought a betamax in 1982 and have refused to switch to VHS since then probably wouldn't understand why AT&T was willing to go with DoCoMo's technology roadmap. but some companies think financial solvency is better than being burdened with huge amounts of debt.
