Hoover's coverage by Jason Cella

Overview

Running to keep up in the US telecom race, Sprint Nextel is the #3 wireless carrier behind Verizon and AT&T in terms of subscribers. Sprint Nextel serves more than 50 million customers with mobile voice, data, and Web services over a nationwide network. While the namesake brand is reserved for premium postpaid accounts, the company also offers prepaid mobile access through its Virgin Mobile USA and Boost Mobile subsidiaries, which target a younger demographic. Sprint Nextel provides cellular access to other carriers and resellers on a wholesale basis. The company's much smaller legacy wireline business provides long-distance voice, Internet, and data services primarily to corporate customers and other carriers.
