Today we have several reports the a T-Mobile might buy Sprint. Could these reports turn out to be true? Hard to say but fun to speculate. T-Mobile has decent wireless marketing, good GSM handsets and has money since it is owned by Deutsche Telecom. Sprint has lots of wireless subscribers and that is what T-Mobile does not have and likely wants. So on at least a simple level this deal could make sense. There are lots of this one could mention that point to this being a bad idea like Sprint is loosing those wireless subscribers fast to AT&T and to Verizon or the T-Mobile is a GSM mobile provider and Sprint uses a CDMA wireless technology which is not at all compatable but let's just stand by as the wireless industry often suprises people. Remember ATT changed its name to Cingular Wireless and then decided to change again to AT&T Wireless :-)
