Sprint Launches Merged Company Today

(via Adrants): The newly merged Sprint-Nextel has officially launched today, and repositions itself as a sports entertainment company as well as a telecom giant.

In addition to Nextel’s Nascar contract, Sprint last month signed a five-year, $600 million deal for exclusive mobile content with the NFL. It also earlier this year renewed its exclusive sponsorship of the U.S. Ski & Sports Association.

Sprint also has a contract with the NHL.
