Virgin Mobile/SprintPCS Deal Done
from the That's-what-you-said-last-time dept
Rumor has it that Virgin Mobile and SprintPCS have closed their Mobile Virtual Network Operator deal. Such a deal would allow Virgin to launch a mobile service without building out their own network and go after a specific target market - presumably one under served by other carriers, such as the youth or pre-paid markets. SprintPCS gets more customers on its network for a fraction of the typical customer acquisition costs.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
