			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) posted a narrower fourth- quarter loss and indicated that it&#8217;s on the cusp of turning around its subscriber losses.</p>
<p>The Overland Park, Kan., wireless carrier lost 1.3 million subscribers in the fourth quarter &#8211; still an alarmingly high rate &#8211; but suggested the declines were stabilizing as predicted. Such stabilization is occurring as growth in the broader U.S. wireless industry slows during a decline in consumer spending and market saturation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite losing customers, Sprint seems to be moving in the right direction, especially in light of a slow-growth quarter posted by AT&amp;T and Verizon,&#8221; said Rick Franklin, an analyst at Edward Jones.</p>
<p>Chief Executive Dan Hesse said he sees subscriber losses narrowing this year. But the company declined to provide further financial details, citing the economic uncertainty.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are unprecedented economic conditions,&#8221; Hesse said in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires. &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen some impact, but not dramatic impact. But we can&#8217;t guarantee that will continue to be the case.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sprint shares recently rose 22.1% to $3.31.</p>
