On June 29, 2007, Sprint sent letters notifying some customers that their service would be cancelled by the end of July due to excessive calls to customer service ("Sprint breaks up with high-maintenance customers", Reardon 2007). Once again, Roni Singleton as their spokeswoman says, "We have to be able to quickly and efficiently serve customers and when we are unable to consistently solve our customers' problems it results in a...
