This is not a hint about DGIV, but the content is KEY! VALIDATION! of DGIV may be contained therein as was suggested to me by the poster who sent this to me at least the poster said that is what i should look for. NEW YORK, June 1 (Reuters) - Sprint Corp., the nation's third largest long distance telephone company, is expected to outline plans on Tuesday to provide a wider range of telecommunications services. Sprint will hold a news conference on Tuesday at 1100 EDT/1500 GMT, in New York City. In a prepared statement, Sprint said Monday it will demonstrate "a revolutionary capability that will change the way businesses and homes use telecommunications." But Sprint declined to provide details. Sprint will likely expand its local phone service strategy, build upon its wireless business and offer a more complete and easier-to-use package of services, industry sources said. The announcement is not expected to include an acquisition or merger, but instead will likely incorporate alliances, analysts said. While many telecommunications companies promote themselves as a "one stop shop," few have been able to offer customers a seamless way to get all services through one customer service contact and on one bill. Sprint may gain an edge over its rivals since its sophisticated billing system could better coordinate customer bills for a wide variety of services, offered by it and any potential partners. Sprint has a small presence in the local phone business, serving mostly rural and suburban markets. The new strategy could move the company into larger markets and intensify its competition against the Baby Bells, analysts said. Last week Sprint finalized plans to take management and ownership control of Sprint PCS, its wireless joint venture with three cable companies. (( New York newsroom 212-859-1729)) REUTERS
