Beleaguered U.S. telecommunications operator Sprint has posted its financial results for its third fiscal quarter of 2009…and the company is reporting a net loss of $478 million for the quarter. That’s 47 percent more than the company lost in the same quarter a year ago—that was $326 million—although CEO Dan Hesse says the company is turning a corner and seeing upticks in both pre-paid and post-paid subscribers.
“Sprint achieved its best net retail subscriber results in more than two years and improvement in both post-paid and prepaid gross subscriber additions,” said Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, in a statement. “Sprint is beginning to attract more customers with the industry’s best device line-up and the clarity and simplicity of our offers, [and] seven sequential quarters of improvement in customer care satisfaction.”
