So, by changing their annual bonus structure for the executives ("A short-
term incentive plan for company officers") to hold them accountable for
churn, they have fallen? You make it sound like an act of desperation,
when it is in fact an act of corporate responsibility. Customers churn,
the big boys don't get a bonus.

Had they done it much earlier, yes, I'd probably have seen it in a much more
positive light. Given recent events, it does smack of desperation.

They have a new CEO that doesn't seem to rush anything. The timing is not
as dire as you portray it- obviously they started addressing customer
service issues before executive compensation.

Well, that's certainly a step in the right direction. I would love to see
Sprint survive their current situation. I just tend to be cynical.
