Who will be the face of indifferent customer service, poor call quality, and excessive monthly charges now?

An obituary for Sprint’s “Trench Coat Guy”. Apparently Trench Coat Guy isn’t suitably professional for the business market Sprint acquired when it bought Nextel last year, so they’re dropping him. The Post goes on and on about this guy in what I suppose is meant to be a cute, funny way, but considering that the only cell service spokesperson anyone remembers is Verizon’s TRULY iconic “Can you hear me now?” guy, I just don’t see the topicality of this story. I mean, I didn’t notice that he wasn’t in Sprint’s ads anymore. Did you? Well, as fascinating as this post about what I’ve determined is a pretty boring subject is, I think I’m going to stop writing now.
