Newswires are pretty much exploding this morning with rumors that a Korean venture, SK telecom is in talks to buy what only be described as a battered Sprint Nextel. With the recent JD Power poll pretty much showing that Sprint isn’t going anywhere, and with customers steadily fleeing the Nextel side of the company, it looks like management may be getting ready to bail out.
SK Telecom technically isn’t new to the US: they are investors in the wireless MVNO we know as Helio. From what Onezumi tells us, Helio isn’t all that great either. Maybe their combined suck-ness will spawn something… less sucky?
Oh, and in case you were wondering: yes, Amp’d fails at life.
