sprint ends year with record 53.9 mln subscrib, page-3

hi guys, be careful how you 'read' the breakdown -
"But from a customer growth perspective, Sprint is once again bringing up the rear of the pack.
The company added a net new 477,000 wireless customers in the fourth quarter, a dramatic improvement over the defections suffered a year ago, but still far short of its rivals. More importantly, the number of new contract customers shrank considerably, falling to just 58,000 new subscribers from 401,000 a year ago. Stripping out the 466,000 tablet customers added, and it actually lost 408,000 voice customers."
"AT&T added 780,000 contract customers, while Verizon Wireless added 824,000 phone customers. T-Mobile added 869,000 contract customers in the period."

despite this, i'm still very excited about the MBE/Sprint coop and eagerly awaiting an update on how the take-up has been over the past months. MBE only needs a tiny slice of Sprint's customer base to make some big $$$
