Wireline Operations
Sprint derives revenue as a wireline IP network operator and as a long distance telephony provider. Sprint Nextel is the United States' third largest long distance provider by subscribers.
In 2006, Sprint Nextel exited the local landline telephone business, spinning those assets off into a newly created company named Embarq, which CenturyTel subsequently acquired in 2008 to form CenturyLink.
