Are people trying to force businesses to close down? With all the wireless mergers out there, losing Sprint would be a big mistake. With them bleeding customers quarter after quarter, they cannot afford a $1.2 billion "fine" and really could push them closer to bankruptcy.
Besides, they just had this same lawsuit (and lost) earlier this year. Wouldn't this be "double jeopardy" to sue them again for the same thing?
I'm not sure losing Sprint - which appears to excel in fail - would be a mistake. Sure, it would be nice if they'd reverse course and become profitable while offering a quality service, but they don't seem to share the desire to do so.
Case in point - Sprint has lost over four (4) million customers over the last year. It seems as if they're intent on making sure that they go out of business on their own.
Keep in mind these are all civil proceedings - which have nothing such as the criminal concept of double jeopardy. Someone is going to pick the bones of the carcass before it disappears completely, and customers (current and former) ought to be able to get a few scraps here and there.
