When Sprint and Nextel Merged, we could not sell any Nextel phones that had the new Sprint Logo on them because iPCS thought this would hurt their sales. We finally just quit selling nextel as it was getting harder to find the phones without the new logo. If I remember correctly, iPCS sued Wal-Mart for allowing its Connection Centers to carry Nextel with the new logo, and Wal-Mart pulled Nextel in its iPCS markets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason Peterson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 12th 2008 5:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint affiliate gets litigious to block Clearwire WiMAX deal]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/12/sprint-affiliate-gets-litigious-to-block-clearwire-wimax-deal/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/12/sprint-affiliate-gets-litigious-to-block-clearwire-wimax-deal/</guid><description><![CDATA[Point is, iPCS is a tough affiliate for Sprint to have to put up with.
