Actually just under 30%.

In 2004, 1788 were privately owned, versus 5046 corporate owned.

I'm guessing you didn't read my replies to NoNoBadDog, nor his reply to

Wal-marts sell Sprint now. They kicked the rented cell companys out of the

I've seen that. Terrible selection though; they seem to only sell the
Nokia 6016 and some other LG phone.

Freedom (AllTel) and T-Mobile To Go prepaids.
