if memory serves, Sprint had huge debts racked up from buying Nextel, as well as buying massive amounts of spectrum for WiMAX. They also purchased Clearwire. But WiMax never actually happened, everyone went to LTE, so sprint did as well. T

My local 'non-profit' hospital is one of the most expensive in the state, and has a total monopoly over its area. It paid cash for a $140m new tower right as covid started, and complained loudly about losing $13m one year and hav
