    With Sprint PCS losing so much money that its stock is being folded back
    into the stock of its Parent Sprint, and with the wireline people losing
    market share, Forsee (the CEO) gets rewarded withan almost $13 million
    bonus.

    His annual salarey is $813,410.

    Any Sprint employees reading this get a bonus of 15 times a years salary
    for 2003?

    They've only been at for 7 years now. Same ole story where Phillipe forgets
    that SPCS is still building out their system. What's more, they aren't
    "losing so much money".

    SPCS is projected to start making positive revenue by 1st quarter 2005. As
    for folding the stock in place, they've said on numerous times while they
    are doing it ... As to losing wireline share, they have never had much
    wireline business. Their main forte outside of wireless is LD and high speed
    data ...

    Hey, that's only $7000/hr. I don't know how anybody can live on anything
    less. Most CEOs get over $15,000/hr.

    The orlando Sentinal Had him as the top paid exec at several hundred million
    last year (this was last week). I don't have the link and really don't care
    about loking it up. It may be on their web site.

    Well, IMO, it is a disgrace that execs get paid that much money
    when the corporations are laying off people and making them work
    in cramped quarters, cutting back on benefits, etc. What sane
    person couldn't live very well on a mere $1 million/yr? With that
    $15 million bonus you could keep 200 or more people on the payroll
    earning ~$50,000 each (counting in the cost of benefits, cost of
    real estate, etc) and give your customers better products and
    services.

    The main thing that keeps capitalism sane is a balance of power
    between capital and labor, a give-and-take, to find a happy
    medium. Excluding the public sector (government employees) fewer
    than 5% of American workers now belong to a labor union. This does
    not bode well for the American worker (or worker in any capitalist
    society where the balance-of-power is skewed radically towards
    capital).

    People in the US are like the proverbial frog sitting in water
    that gets hotter very gradually. Frog doesn't know it's being
    boiled alive because it happens so gradually.

    Not only that, but while Phillippe makes it seem that Sprint is bumbling
    in the wireline sector, the truth us that nearly ALL ILECs are losing
    market share. The heyday was in the miid-90s when people were buying
    multiple phone lines for dial-up service, faxes and as additional voice
    capacity. Now, broadband data and wireless have reduced that need, so
    all wireline companies are seeing reductions in the number of lines in
    service.

    But where's all that market share going? Well, wireless and data...
    where Sprint also has a good footing.

    So if another ILEC is losing market share, that makes Sprint good?

    No, it just makes the wireline results rather meaningless. Everyone is
    giving away the farm. Here in Southern Cali, both SBC and Verizon are offering
    their respective unlimited local/long-distance plans, in some markets even
    for business customers who normally spend a lot more. Sprint, ATT and MCI all
    have similar offerings. No one is making money on POTS anymore.

    Calling Sprint wireline "good" is a stretch. Having had to deal with ILECs on a
    regular basis for years, I can say that they all suck in equal amounts.

    Even some of the wireline CLECs that used to be very customer-responsive (XO
    in particular; I don't even want to go into detail about my problems with
    them) now suck horribly.

    Very True! I have Sprint :LTD, Sprint LDD, Sprint PCS and Sprint
    Fastconnect DSL. For those that don't know! LTD is the landline service,
    LDD is the long distance division the rest I am sure everyone can figure it
    out. Sprint profits are larger and larger every year. As one division goes
    up or down so does another one and it all balances out.
