Virgin Mobile now officially part of Sprint

It took about five months, but Sprint has finally completed its acquisition of Virgin Mobile. There’s nothing major in the announcement, just some formalities and paperwork. The deal is for $483 million, and it involves the retirement of Virgin Mobile’s debt. Virgin’s 5.2 million subscribers should lead Sprint to its first quarter of subscriber growth in over a year.

   Very classy move.

   Not!
