Sprint to Slash 4,000 Jobs After Subscriber Losses - New York Times: "On Friday, the company said it lost 683,000 post-paid subscribers in the fourth quarter, far more than analysts' forebasts for a loss of 350,000 to 500,000 subscribers.
Post-paid subscribers pay monthly bills and are often on a contract, making them more valuable to the company. Sprint also lost 202,000 prepaid subscribers, or customers who pay in advance for a set amount of service.
Analysts said it was a dismal performance even for Sprint, which lost post-paid subscribers in five of the last six quarters, since end-year holiday sales are usually a strong point for wireless carriers."
