Abstract
This paper evaluates the Sprint PC website according to specific variables that usually make a website more visible and user-friendly. The paper shows that by using these variables as a guideline, it is easier to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of this particular website.
From the Paper
"An effective Web site should provide good error messages; however, even better than good error messages is a careful design that prevents a problem from occurring in the first place. In addition, the "help" button should allow users to recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors, and error messages should be expressed in plain language (no codes), precisely indicate the problem, and constructively suggest a solution. As such, as each link and button was pressed respectively on a recent visit to Sprint PCS's Web site, no error messages were received. This is in stark contrast to other Web sites, particularly those that reset after a prescribed amount of time, thereby eliminating even the "back" option."

Introduction
Market Structure
Sprint's Position Within the Industry
Pricing and Product Development Strategies
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sprint's size and product diversity (including its wireless service) enables it to engage in the price wars which have resulted in increased market share. In this way, it has benefitted from economies of scale which are driving the cost of long distance service so low as to be nearly negligible. Long distance companies such as Sprint and AT&T spend considerable amounts of money marketing and protecting their long distance markets and much of what consumers spend on long distance goes to support this so-called "billing" relationship (Jenkins, 1999, p. A31)."

Abstract
This paper explains that a merger occurs when two different companies agree to join their forces to develop a bigger company; whereas, an acquisition occurs when one company takes over another company. The author points out that mergers and acquisitions provide a means of accessing new markets, technology and business operations, of obtaining cost savings and of providing an opportunity for competitors to survive in a highly competitive market by joining forces. The paper reviews the merger between Sprint and Nextel Communication Inc. to form Sprint Nextel Corporation and the acquisition of Storage Technology Corporation by Sun Microsystems and Paradyne Networks Inc, by Zhone Technologies.
From the Paper
"Other sources of efficiencies may come from the introduction of new products, development of more efficient processes or improvement of product quality or service. It is however very difficult for the firms to find out in advance whether there will be any savings due to mergers, as these can be only judged after the entire merger process is completed. Another problem in minimizing costs comes from cultural differences between the companies or their styles of management. Even if there is weak competition, the need for cost savings are not realized and thus not achieved."

From the Paper
"The wireless industry has been experiencing phenomenal success and market acceptance for the past several years, but 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 have been record breaking. Smith states that the top five U.S. carriers had a combined 150.9 million subscribers with over 24 million net new subscribers (Smith, p.12). The largest previous record for new subscriber additions was in 2000 with 21 million net new subscribers (ibid). Wireless technology is gaining extremely broad exposure in the market for several reasons; not the least of which is reception quality improvements. With the emergence of data access (web, music, text messaging) and cost-benefit advantages, many more people are opting to utilize their wireless plan as the sole telephonic access for a household."
