Actually the problem is that Sprint bought it and didn't shut it down
fast. (in part because CDMA didn't offer the "push to talk"
functionality of iDEN. )

T-Mobile killed CDMA on MetroPCS quickly after purchase and will do the
same for Sprint which is the right thing to do. Yopu gain efficiencies
only when you shut down the purchased network ASAP and move the
customers to your own network, and increase your network's capacity with
the spectrum of the purchased company.

Abnd in the FCC filings to justify buying Sprint, T-Mobile promised
swift action to move Sprint customers over to T-Mogile network to shut
down Sprint ASAP.
