Running to keep up in the US telecom race, Sprint Nextel is the #3 wireless carrier behind Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility in terms of subscribers. Sprint Nextel serves nearly 40 million customers with mobile voice, data, and Web services over its nationwide network. While the namesake brand is reserved for postpaid accounts, the company also offers prepaid mobile access (mainly to the youth market) through its Boost Mobile subsidiary. Sprint Nextel also provides cellular access to other carriers on a wholesale basis. The company's smaller legacy wireline business provides long-distance voice, Internet, and data network services primarily to corporate customers and other carriers.
