Could we see Sprint being bought out?

To me, the most likely candidate is a cableco consortium consisting of Comcast/Time Warner/Bright House so they can compete with the AT&T/VZ "quad-play" and the telcos' forthcoming wireless integration plans. Either that, or Hutchinson Telecom of Hong Kong (who operates the 3 brand worldwide, and is flush with cash).

Still, if anyone buys Sprint, they would be wise to ditch Hesse's WiMax pet project and go for LTE using the Sprint and Nextel spectrum (read: kill iDEN) to avoid another CDMA/GSM standards war.

Why kill iDEN? Just sell it to the US Government... emergency services could really use that stuff, and the Feds know it.
