It's no secret that Sprint hasn't been bringing in the profits they need in order to stay afloat at their current rate of burn. To combat this, the company has sold a number of its network assets to Network LeaseCo for $2.2 billion in capital. The company then plans to lease back those assets to Sprint so they can continue doing business.
While this will probably keep them from going under, this just seems like a horrible idea in the long run
