    Sprint should just declare itself a prepaid service and get it over with. If you can't be first or second in your category, make a new category.

    Virgin must really be trying to unload these ventures. They sold their Canadian Virgin Mobile to Bell for $142M in May.

    @Skot: Kinda makes sense in a way. Virgin ran on Bell CDMA in Canada, and Sprint CDMA in US, so if they do it in canada, why not offload its last north american arm on its other parent network.

    it'd be interesting to see why branson got rid of it, he seemed to get rid of virgin mega stores pretty quick only to watch the new owners have a hard time - what i'm saying is that he seems to cash in before anything goes tits up!

    My guess would be is so they can combine Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile to compete against cricket.
