I'm a little surprised that Sprint didn't even bother to mention it, although the news wasn't suited to YouTube sharing and the other useless endeavors that pass for viral branding these days. I've written about this in some detail on my blog, DIM BULB, at <a href="http://dimbulb.typepad.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://dimbulb.typepad.com">http://dimbulb.typepad.com</a>,if you'd like to check it out.
