It was spun off a few years ago and is a standalone LEC. Sprint’s Wireline division offers LD & International IP Services to business customers and continues to remain quite solvent. As to the defections to wireless products at the consumer level, this will continue to be the trend while wireleine services will remain strong with quality data services expanding to remain vibrant and complementing those services with VoIP and Video. We are dreadfully behind our overseas brethren in this regard(our overseas competition offers 6X the bandwidth).
