You keep pushing this falsehood instead of correcting your old article; a buttload of commenters have repeatedly pointed out to you that your original source was misinformed. Please stop pushing around false information, guys.

Sprint got an additional 20,000 towers just from the Nextel deal alone -- a relatively sparse network. Sprint only sold 3,000 towers to TowerCo. Do the math.]]>May 4th 2009 8:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/May 4th 2009 10:23AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/May 18th 2009 9:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/
Not to mention the fact that Sony Ericcson doesn't make U.S. CDMA phones in the first place. So no, this is still not ironic.]]>May 4th 2009 8:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/May 4th 2009 4:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/
I don't even have to type my corrections to the story... they've all been posted already.]]>May 4th 2009 9:37AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/May 4th 2009 10:13AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/May 4th 2009 10:19AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/
WSJ has a very good article explaining what exactly outsourcing in this case means.]]>May 4th 2009 10:37AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/If you know anyone at sprint who works in one of the affected departments it is not just "the guy who goes up the poll."

It is the full management of Sprint's network that they are spinning off.]]>May 4th 2009 11:15AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/May 4th 2009 12:26PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sprint-mulling-outsourcing-network-maintenance-transferring-sta/
