Getting angry at me won't change the Millions plus folks who voted with
their feet how they felt about Sprint. Thats over 5 million per year.

It's not a troll to post a SprintPCS new release.

Churn for the quarter was 8.7 %. Reported as the monthly 2.9%, and
increase from the 2.7% of the previous quarter, and we had all these
SprintPCS employees on here telling us things were getting better.

So then we'll go by what CNN says:

*****************
Long-distance giants Sprint (FON: Research, Estimates) and AT&T (T:
Research, Estimates) and Baby Bells SBC Communications (SBC: Research,
Estimates) and BellSouth (BLS: Research, Estimates) are also due to
report this week, and none of them are expected to post higher profits
than a year earlier.

For that matter, analysts aren't forecasting earnings growth for any
of these four for the entire year. And Sprint is the only company for
which analysts see a profit increase in 2005.
******************

From http://money.cnn.com/2004/04/19/technology/telecom/

And since you're all up in arms about PCS being merged back into FON,
then that means that those numbers DO include PCS.

Are you going to call CNN an apologist now?

And over 8 million for Verizon when they report their numbers, even if they
report the same churn as last quarter. So, what's your point?

Keep clinging to the churn number- its the only one that didn't improve over
the previous year.

Actually Scott, it did improve over the same quarter last year, which was at
3.1.

And SprintPCS is still losing money. I quote directly from their SEC
filings, not from 3rd party statements about the wireline company.

Well, Sprint can't make a statement like the one I did from CNN, yet
that statement is made by analysts.

And as for it being PCS vs. Sprint corp, as of Friday, it won't
matter, they'll be the same organization.

If whether a company makes or loses money that big of an issue, then
leave, go to Verizon who you brag about them making a profit.

I am just posting what a SprintPCS press release said. If you are
unhappy about that, your argument is with SprintPCS, not me.

But my argument that you post like a broken record is with you.

Posting about an April 20 Press Release on April 20, is hardly a broken
record. If SprintPCS has losses every quarter that is the broken record,
not my posting the new results.

I think he was referring to your constant posting of "Sprint PCS rates
last in CS according to Consumer Reports/JD Powers" and "customers vote
with their feet" stuff. That sounds like a broken record, day after
day, and usually multiple times each day.

Posting it in four different threads within a couple of hours *is*=20
like a broken record.

As if you never editorialize. THAT'S all you do.

Responding to the broken record of different apologists is what causes
that.

Lauer bragged that SprintPCS would be a WLNP winner, so where are the
results? Why is SprintPCS sitting on the numbers? No wonder CALPARS
recommends voteing against Sprint's Director.
