Frontier (NASDAQ: FTR) and Sprint (NYSE: S) have both struggled to keep up with bigger players in their spaces.
The wireless carrier has slipped to No. 4 in a four-way race and, perhaps more importantly, has lost its identity. While T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) has staked out its place as the alternative to the top two companies in the space, Sprint has essentially become a “me-too” proposition without an established niche of its own.
