History
The history of Sprint Nextel Corporation goes back to 1899, when Cleyson Brown founded Brown Telephone Co. which became a major competitor to Bell Telephone. In 1975 Sprint launched the first public data network. In 1986, the company started providing long-distance services and launched its first fully digital wireless network in 1996.
Another key chapter of Sprint Nextel Corporation started in 1987 when Morgan O’Brien founded Fleet Net company that became known as Nextel in 1993. The company was quick to establish itself as a major player on the telecommunication market. In a matter of a year Nextel acquired Dial Call and OneComm as well as the whole package of Motorola SMR licenses for the USA. In 1996 Nextel launched that time’s cutting-edge iDEN technology which allowed combining several features such as digital cellular and text paging in just one phone.
In 2005 the successful merger of the two companies marked the foundation of the telecom giant called Sprint Nextel Corporation.

I wonder how much these carriers charge for directory assistance. I mean, Should they even bother what with free services like 1800-free-411 and the many others that have popped up lately, offering drive directions, text directions and what-have-you. Carriers should stick to improving quality rather than fooling with options nobody might need. We really need to “hear them now”.
