Apparently Fee Isn't Always Enough
An Offer You Can’t Refuse
Washed up, beaten down, kicked to the curb. Sprint’s
The fourth-largest telecom company is now offering as many as five free lines of service for one year to Verizon customers in a last-ditch, digital effort to gain some street cred.
But is it too little too late? Sprint’s $2 billion bottom line feels concerningly small when compared with its $40 billion debt load. And the pressure remains real to either finagle a merger with T-Mobile or quickly work its way out of the four slot.
If “free” doesn’t win you subscribers, not sure what will.

Did You Know - Blue Exit Signs Edition
Here's How Much Businesses Pay To Get On Those Big Blue Exit Signs
Who’s Eligible To Be On The Signs?
If you own a business that falls into one of these groups—attraction, pharmacy, camping, lodging, food and gas—and your business is located near a controlled-access state highway, then you’re eligible to get your company on the big blue sign. This could be a great opportunity to bring in more customers.
But not everyone is eligible to display their firm’s logo; that’s because the state’s requirements are rather strict, specifying things like distance from the highway, operating hours, required amenities, and number of parking spots available.
Cost To Businesses
The cost of getting on a specific service sign varies by state, but in general, it spans between about $500 and a couple grand per year. For some states, the annual fee depends solely upon which kind of sign a business is renting, though other states base the annual fee on how much traffic that particular road sees (a more crowded road costs more).
