Sprint / Cableco partners new purchase

Sprint and the cable companies have made a joint venture to do something wierd with wireless and wired communications. So, step one: Spend 2.37 Billion - with a B - to buy up honkin big chunks of new radio spectrum. And, what are they going to do with this?

Outch. Very nice. They dropped 2.3 billion and have no idea what they want to do with it.
