Sprint To Go Slow On Leasing To MVNOs

So said Sprint Nextel’s COO Len Lauer, at CTIA…he doesn’t expect to add many new MVNOs to its network, and plans to take time to digest the ones it already has and see how they do..the ones on Sprint’s network are Mobile ESPN, Helio and Disney Mobile.
Lauer said that Sprint Nextel “[turns] down a lot of companies” who want to use its network…However, he noted, the virtual network operators are part of Sprint Nextel’s multi-brand strategy, and 2006 will be the year to see how much traction such brands gain in the marketplace. Give them four quarters, he told analysts (and us, I suppose).
