Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

     The 8,920,000,000  shares of authorized capital stock of Sprint are divided
into three  classes of common stock and a class of preferred  stock.  The common
stock  consists of the FON Common  Stock,  the PCS Common  Stock and the Class A
Common  Stock.  Each  class of stock,  other than the Class A Common  Stock,  is
divided into series, as follows:

     FON Stock

     o    2,500,000,000  shares of FON Common  Stock,  Series 1, par value $2.00
          per share

     o    500,000,000 shares of FON Common Stock,  Series 2, par value $2.00 per
          share

     o    1,200,000,000  shares of FON Common  Stock,  Series 3, par value $2.00
          per share

     PCS Stock

     o    3,000,000,000  shares of PCS Common  Stock,  Series 1, par value $1.00
          per share

     o    1,000,000,000  shares of PCS Common  Stock,  Series 2, par value $1.00
          per share

     o    600,000,000 shares of PCS Common Stock,  Series 3, par value $1.00 per
          share

     Preferred Stock

     o    1,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock-Sixth Series, no par value

     o    300,000 shares of Preferred Stock-Seventh Series,  Convertible, no par
          value

     o    1,250,000 shares of Preferred Stock-Eighth Series, no par value

     The Class A Common Stock consists of  100,000,000  shares of Class A Common
Stock, having no par value at March 31, 2003.

     Sprint's Articles of Incorporation authorize 20,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock or  16,950,000  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  in  addition  to the  series
enumerated  above.  Sprint may issue the additional shares of Preferred Stock in
one  or  more  series,   with  such  designations,   preferences  and  relative,
participating,  optional  or special  rights,  if any,  and the  qualifications,
limitations or  restrictions  of such rights,  as may be fixed and determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors of Sprint.

     The FON Stock is  intended  to reflect  the  performance  of the Sprint FON
Group.  The PCS Stock is  intended to reflect the  performance  of Sprint's  PCS
Group.


                                       1


     The  Series 1 FON Stock and the  Series 1 PCS  Stock  are both  listed  and
traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

     The  outstanding  Series 2 PCS  Stock was  issued to Tele-  Communications,
Inc.,  Comcast  Corporation  and Cox  Communications,  Inc. and certain of their
affiliates  in  exchange  for their  interests  in certain  ventures  that offer
wireless personal communications  services. These ventures are now a part of the
PCS Group. Tele-Communications, Inc. transferred its shares of Series 2 PCS to a
trust in 1999.  The trust is in the process of dissolution  and is  distributing
its shares of Series 2 PCS Stock to its beneficiaries, Liberty Media Corporation
and  its  subsidiaries.   That  trust,   Liberty  Media   Corporation,   Comcast
Corporation,  Cox  Communications,  Inc.,  and their  affiliates are referred to
together as the Cable Holders. The Series 2 FON Stock will be issued only to the
holders of Series 2 PCS Stock (or Preferred Stock - Seventh Series, Convertible,
that  converts  into Series 2 PCS Stock) and only if the PCS Stock is  converted
into FON Stock  before the  conversion  of all shares of Series 2 PCS Stock into
Series 1 PCS Stock. See "Conversion of PCS Stock at the Option of Sprint" below.

     The Series 2 PCS Stock  converts into Series 1 PCS Stock in most cases when
it is transferred  to a  non-affiliate  of the Cable  Holders.  The Series 2 PCS
Stock  also  converts  into  Series 1 PCS Stock  when the total  number of votes
represented  by the  outstanding  shares of Series 2 PCS  Stock,  calculated  as
though the  Series 2 PCS Stock has the same vote as the  Series 1 PCS Stock,  is
below 1% of Sprint's outstanding voting power.

     The  Series 3 FON Stock,  the  Series 3 PCS  Stock,  and the Class A Common
Stock are all shares of stock that are  referred to as Class A Stock.  Shares of
Class A Stock were  issued  only to France  Telecom,  Deutsche  Telekom AG and a
subsidiary of Deutsche  Telekom.  Deutsche  Telekom and its subsidiary have sold
all of their  shares of Series 3 FON Stock and Series 3 PCS Stock and the shares
underlying  their Class A Common Stock, and their shares of Class A Common Stock
have been cancelled.

     France  Telecom has sold all of its shares of Series 3 FON Stock and all of
the FON Stock  underlying its shares of Class A Common Stock,  and has converted
all of its  shares of Series 3 PCS Stock into  shares of Series 1 PCS Stock.  In
addition, all of the PCS Stock underlying its shares of Class A Common Stock has
been  issued as Series 1 PCS Stock.  Consequently,  the par value of the Class A
Common  Stock  held by FT has been  reduced  to $0.00  per share and its Class A
Common Stock is non-voting and has no liquidation rights.

     Sprint's  Articles of Incorporation  prohibit Sprint from issuing shares of
Class A Stock following  conversion of all  outstanding  shares of Class A Stock
into  shares of Series 1 FON Stock or Series 1 PCS Stock.  Although  100 million
shares of Class A Common Stock, 1.2 billion shares of Series 3 FON Stock and 600
million shares of Series 3 PCS Stock continue to be authorized, this prohibition
effectively limits the authorized common stock as follows:

     o    Class A Common  Stock  is  limited  to the  outstanding  43.1  million
          shares;

     o    FON Stock is limited to 3 billion  shares,  consisting of the Series 1
          FON Stock and the Series 2 FON Stock;


                                        2


     o    PCS Stock is limited to 4 billion  shares,  consisting of the Series 1
          PCS Stock and the Series 2 PCS Stock.

DIVIDEND RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS

     Dividends on the FON Stock will be paid when declared by the Sprint Board.

     The Sprint  Board may  declare  dividends  on the FON Stock and not the PCS
Stock,  or it may declare  dividends on the PCS Stock and not the FON Stock.  If
the Sprint  Board  declares a dividend  on one series of the FON Stock,  it must
declare the same dividend on all outstanding series of FON Stock.

     Because the Class A Common Stock held by FT no longer represents either FON
Stock or PCS Stock,  it is no longer  entitled to a dividend when  dividends are
declared on either the FON Stock or the PCS Stock.

     Dividends  on the FON Stock and the PCS Stock may be  declared  only out of
net  income or  surplus  of  Sprint.  Net  losses of either the PCS Group or the
Sprint FON Group,  and dividends and  distributions  on, or repurchases  of, PCS
Stock or FON Stock,  will  reduce  funds  legally  available  for the payment of
dividends on both classes of common stock.

     The  Tracking  Stock  Policies  adopted by the Sprint  Board  require  that
dividends on the FON Stock may be paid only out of the lesser of

     o    the funds of Sprint  legally  available  for the payment of dividends,
          and

     o    the FON Group  Available  Dividend  Amount,  which is  similar  to the
          amount of assets that would be available  for the payment of dividends
          on the FON Stock  under the  Kansas  General  Corporation  Code if the
          Sprint FON Group were a separate company. The assets of the Sprint FON
          Group would  include any  inter-group  interest that it has in the PCS
          Group.

     The Sprint Board may not declare a dividend or  distribution  consisting of
shares of FON  Stock on the PCS  Stock.  The  Sprint  Board  may only  declare a
dividend or  distribution  of shares of PCS Stock on the FON Stock if the shares
to be issued  represent an  inter-group  interest of the Sprint FON Group in the
PCS Group.

     Before any dividends on the FON Stock or any other class of common stock of
Sprint may be paid or  declared  and set apart for  payment,  Sprint must pay or
declare and set apart for payment full  cumulative  dividends on all outstanding
series of Preferred Stock.

     Upon the issuance of a new series of Preferred  Stock, the Sprint Board may
provide  for  dividend  restrictions  on the  FON  Stock  as to that  series  of
Preferred Stock.


                                        3



VOTING RIGHTS

Votes Per Share

     The  holders of FON Stock vote  together  with the holders of the PCS Stock
and Preferred Stock as a single class on most matters.  The Class A Common Stock
is now  non-voting.  When all classes are voting as a single class,  the holders
have the following number of votes:

     o    The holders of the Series 1 FON Stock have one vote per share.

     o    The holders of the Series 1 PCS Stock have a number of votes per share
          equal to the number  obtained by dividing the Average Trading Price of
          one share of Series 1 PCS Stock by the  Average  Trading  Price of one
          share of Series 1 FON  Stock,  computed  as of the tenth  trading  day
          before the record date for  determining the  stockholders  entitled to
          vote. For these purposes,  the Average Trading Price is defined as the
          average closing price of the stock determined over the 20 trading days
          immediately preceding the date of determination.  If the "ex-dividend"
          date for a dividend or  distribution  on either the Series 1 PCS Stock
          or the Series 1 FON Stock occurs during this 20 trading day period, or
          the effective  date of any  subdivision or combination of the Series 1
          PCS Stock or Series 1 FON Stock  occurs  during  this 20  trading  day
          period,  an appropriate  adjustment is made to the closing prices used
          in the  calculation.  The vote per share of the  Series 1 PCS Stock is
          expressed as a decimal  fraction  rounded to the nearest three decimal
          places.  By way of example,  if the Average Trading Price of one share
          of Series 1 PCS Stock is determined  to be $5 and the Average  Trading
          Price of one share of Series 1 FON Stock is determined to be $15, each
          share of Series 1 PCS Stock would have .333 votes.

     o    The  holders of the Series 2 PCS Stock have 1/10 of the vote per share
          that the holders of the Series 1 PCS Stock have.

     o    The holders of the Seventh Series  Preferred  Stock have the number of
          votes per share equal to the  aggregate  number of votes of the shares
          of Series 1 PCS Stock or Series 2 PCS Stock  into which a share of the
          Seventh Series  Preferred  Stock may be converted.  At March 31, 2003,
          each share of Seventh  Series  Preferred  Stock was  convertible  into
          65.04784 shares of Series 1 PCS Stock or Series 2 PCS Stock, depending
          on who held the share of Seventh Series Preferred Stock.

     If the PCS Stock is  converted  into FON Stock,  the  holders  of  Sprint's
capital  stock  would have the  following  number of votes when all  classes are
voting as a single class:

     o    The holders of the Series 1 FON Stock would have one vote per share.

     o    The  holders of the  Series 2 FON Stock  would have 1/10 of a vote per
          share.

     o    The  holders of the  Seventh  Series  Preferred  Stock  would have the
          number of votes per share  equal to the  aggregate  number of votes of
          the  shares of Series 1 FON Stock


                                           4



          or  Series  2 FON  Stock  into  which a share  of the  Seventh  Series
          Preferred Stock could be converted at that time. By way of example, if
          a share of Seventh  Series  Preferred  Stock was  convertible  into 65
          shares of Series 1 FON Stock,  that share of Seventh Series  Preferred
          Stock would have 65 votes. If under the same  circumstances  the share
          of Seventh Series  Preferred Stock was  convertible  into 65 shares of
          Series 2 FON Stock,  it would  have 6.5  votes.  Each share of Seventh
          Series  Preferred Stock will be convertible into Series 1 FON Stock or
          Series 2 FON Stock, depending on who holds the share of Seventh Series
          Preferred Stock at that time.

     If the FON Stock is entitled to vote on a matter as a separate class,  each
share will be entitled to one vote. If a particular series of FON Stock, such as
the  Series 1 FON  Stock,  is voting as a  separate  series,  each share will be
entitled to one vote.

     Sprint's Articles of Incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of the
holders  of a  majority  of the votes  represented  by the FON Stock and Class A
Common  Stock  voting  together  as a single  class  is  required  to adopt  any
amendment to Sprint's Articles of Incorporation that would

     o    increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of FON Stock;

     o    increase or decrease the par value of shares of FON Stock; or

     o    change the powers,  preference or special  rights of the shares of FON
          Stock so as to affect them adversely.

     On each  matter to be voted on by the  holders of the FON Stock and Class A
Common Stock voting  together as a single  class,  the holders of shares of each
series of FON Stock are entitled to one vote per share.  Because there is no FON
Stock  underlying the  outstanding  shares of Class A Common Stock,  the Class A
Common Stock would not have any vote when voting  together with the FON Stock as
a single class.

     The Tracking  Stock  Policies  adopted by the Sprint Board provide that the
consent of the  holders of a majority  of the  outstanding  shares of PCS Stock,
voting as a separate class,  and the consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding  shares of FON Stock,  voting as a separate  class,  is  required to
approve any  acquisition  by the FON Group of more than 33% of the assets of the
PCS Group.

Special Voting Rights of the Preferred Stock

     The Preferred  Stock is entitled to vote as a class with respect to certain
matters  affecting  preferences  of the  Preferred  Stock or an  increase in the
authorized shares of the class.

     The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes to which the holders of the
outstanding  shares  of the  Seventh  Series  Preferred  Stock are  entitled  is
necessary for  authorizing or effecting the  amendment,  alteration or repeal of
any of the provisions of the Articles of  Incorporation


                                    5




which would  materially  and adversely  affect the voting  powers,  preferences,
rights,  powers or privileges,  qualifications,  limitations and restrictions of
the Seventh Series Preferred Stock.

Classified Board; No Cumulative Voting

     The Sprint Board is currently  divided into three classes,  with each class
consisting,  as nearly as  possible,  of  one-third  of the total  number of the
directors.  At the Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  held on May 13,  2003,  the
stockholders  approved  an  amendment  to  Sprint's  Articles  of  Incorporation
declassifying the board. Under the amendment,  each director elected at or after
the 2004 Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  will be elected for a one- year term.
Directors elected before that meeting will serve the remaining duration of their
three-year terms.

     The holders of all  classes and series of stock,  except the Class A Common
Stock,  are  entitled  to  vote  in the  election  of  these  directors.  Sprint
stockholders  are not entitled to  cumulative  voting  rights in the election of
directors.

REDEMPTION OF COMMON STOCK

     The Articles of  Incorporation  permit the redemption of shares of Series 1
FON Stock, Series 1 PCS Stock and Series 2 PCS Stock held by Aliens if necessary
to comply with the foreign ownership limitations set forth in Section 310 of the
U.S.  Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The provisions permit Series 1 FON
Stock, Series 1 PCS Stock and Series 2 PCS Stock to be redeemed at a price equal
to the fair market value of the shares,  except that the  redemption  price with
respect to shares  purchased by any Alien after November 21, 1995 and within one
year of the redemption date would not, unless otherwise determined by the Sprint
Board, exceed the purchase price paid for those shares by the Alien.

CONVERSION OF PCS STOCK AT THE OPTION OF SPRINT

     The Sprint  Board may convert  each share of Series 1 PCS Stock into shares
of Series 1 FON Stock.  At the same time as the Sprint Board converts the Series
1 PCS Stock into Series 1 FON Stock, it must convert the Series 2 PCS Stock into
Series 2 FON Stock.

     The Sprint  Board  will  determine  the  conversion  ratio,  subject to the
requirement that it must make independent  determinations  as to the fairness of
the conversion ratio to the holders of the PCS Stock, taken as a separate class,
and to the holders of the FON Stock, taken as a separate class.

MANDATORY DIVIDEND, REDEMPTION OR CONVERSION OF PCS STOCK

     If Sprint disposes of all of the assets of the PCS Group, or if it disposes
of at least 80% of the assets of the PCS Group on a  then-current  market  value
basis, it must use the net proceeds to pay a dividend on the PCS Stock or redeem
the PCS Stock or it must convert the PCS Stock into FON Stock. There are certain
exceptions to this rule; for example,  Sprint does not have to pay a dividend on
the PCS Stock, redeem the PCS Stock or convert the PCS Stock into FON Stock


                                     6




when it receives in exchange for the assets  primarily  equity  securities of an
entity engaged,  or proposing to engage,  in a business similar or complementary
to the business of the PCS Group.

     If the Sprint Board  determines  to convert the PCS Stock into FON Stock in
these  circumstances,  Sprint will convert each share of PCS Stock into a number
of shares of FON Stock at a ratio equal to 110% of the average  Market  Value of
one  share of  Series 1 PCS Stock to the  average  Market  Value of one share of
Series 1 FON Stock computed over a 10-trading  day period  beginning on the 16th
trading  day after the  consummation  of the  disposition.  The Market  Value is
defined as the average of the high and low reported  sales  prices  regular way.
Appropriate adjustments are made if an ex-dividend date or an effective date for
a  subdivision  or  combination  of  the  relevant   shares  occurs  during  the
measurement period.

     If the Sprint Board determines to pay a dividend on the PCS Stock or redeem
the  PCS  Stock,  Sprint  will  distribute  to  holders  of PCS  Stock  cash  or
securities, other than common equity securities of Sprint, or other property, or
a combination of cash and securities and other property, equal to the fair value
of the net proceeds after deducting amounts necessary to pay transaction  costs,
taxes  on the  disposition,  liabilities  of  the  PCS  Group,  and  any  amount
corresponding  to any  inter-group  interest in the PCS Group held by the Sprint
FON Group.

REDEMPTION OF PCS STOCK IN EXCHANGE FOR STOCK OF A SUBSIDIARY

     Sprint may redeem all of the  outstanding  shares of PCS Stock in  exchange
for  the  outstanding  shares  of  common  stock  of  one or  more  wholly-owned
subsidiaries  that hold all of the assets and liabilities  attributed to the PCS
Group if the following condition is met

     o    Either the redemption  must be tax free to the holders of PCS Stock or
          an  arrangement  must  exist such that  holders  of PCS Stock,  net of
          related taxes, are in a position substantially equivalent economically
          to the position they would be in if the redemption were tax free.

LIQUIDATION RIGHTS

     In the event of the  liquidation  of Sprint,  the prior rights of creditors
and the aggregate liquidation preference of any Preferred Stock then outstanding
must first be satisfied. The holders of FON Stock and PCS Stock will be entitled
to share in the  remaining  assets of Sprint  in  accordance  with the per share
Liquidation  Units  attributable  to each class or series of common  stock.  The
holders  of FON Stock  have no special  claim to the  assets  attributed  to the
Sprint FON Group.  The  Liquidation  Units  attributable to each class of common
stock are as follows:

     o    Each share of FON Stock is attributed one Liquidation Unit.

     o    Each share of PCS Stock is attributed 0.2046 Liquidation Units.

     The number of Liquidation  Units for each share of FON Stock and each share
of PCS Stock will be adjusted for stock  splits,  reverse stock splits and other
corporate events affecting the FON Stock or the PCS Stock.


                                     7



PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

     No holder of shares of FON Stock,  PCS Stock, or any other capital stock of
Sprint is entitled  to  preemptive  rights or  subscription  rights,  other than
pursuant to the Rights issued pursuant to Sprint's Rights Agreement. At the time
of the acquisition of their shares of Series 2 PCS Stock, Tele-  Communications,
Inc., Comcast  Corporation and Cox  Communications,  Inc. were given contractual
rights  to  purchase  additional  shares of  Series 2 PCS  Stock  under  certain
circumstances to enable them to maintain certain ownership levels.

FULLY PAID

     The outstanding shares of FON Stock, PCS Stock and Class A Common Stock are
fully paid and nonassessable.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

     The transfer  agent and  registrar for FON Stock and PCS Stock is UMB Bank,
n.a., Kansas City, Missouri.

CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS

     The Kansas General  Corporation Code and Sprint's Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws contain  provisions  which could  discourage or make more difficult a
change in control of Sprint  without the support of the Sprint Board.  A summary
of these provisions follows.

Vote Required for Certain Business Combinations

     Sprint's   Articles  of   Incorporation   require  that  certain   business
combinations  initiated by a beneficial  owner of 10 percent or more of Sprint's
voting  stock must be approved  by the holders of 80 percent of the  outstanding
voting stock.

Restriction on Purchase of Equity Securities by Sprint

     If the beneficial  owner of 5 percent or more of a class of Sprint's equity
securities  has held any of the  securities  for less than two  years,  Sprint's
Articles of Incorporation  prohibit Sprint from purchasing  equity securities of
the same class as the securities held for less than two years from the 5 percent
security holder at a premium over market price unless Sprint either

     o    obtains the  approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power
          of Sprint's  outstanding  capital stock,  excluding the shares held by
          the 5 percent security holder, or

     o    makes a tender or exchange  offer to purchase  securities  of the same
          class on the same terms to all holders of those equity securities.

                                        8



     The approval of  stockholders is not required in connection with purchases,
redemptions  or other  acquisitions  by Sprint of Sprint  capital  stock held by
France Telecom,  Deutsche Telekom,  certain of their designated  subsidiaries or
certain other qualified  holders of the Class A Stock pursuant to the investment
agreements  entered into with France  Telecom and  Deutsche  Telekom or Sprint's
Articles of Incorporation.

Removal of Directors

     Sprint's  Articles of  Incorporation  provide that directors may be removed
only for cause.  Removal for cause requires the affirmative  vote of the holders
of a majority  of the votes  represented  by the shares  entitled to vote on the
election of that  director.  This  limitation  makes it more difficult to remove
directors.

Notice Provisions Relating to Stockholder Proposals and Nominees

     Sprint's Bylaws contain provisions  requiring a stockholder to give advance
written  notice to Sprint of a proposal or director  nomination in order to have
the proposal or the nominee considered at an annual meeting of stockholders. The
notice  must  usually be given not less than 120 days and not more than 150 days
before the first  anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting.  Under the
Sprint  Bylaws,  a special  meeting of  stockholders  may be called  only by the
Chairman,  the  President  or the Board of  Directors  of  Sprint.  In order for
business to be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders, it must be either
specified  in the notice of meeting  given by or at the  direction of the Sprint
Board of Directors or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the
direction of the Sprint Board of Directors.

Rights Plan

     The Sprint Board has adopted a Rights  Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of
the Rights  Agreement,  Rights are  attached to the FON Stock and the PCS Stock.
For a  description  of the FON  Group  Rights  attached  to the FON  Stock,  see
Amendment No. 4 to Sprint's  Registration  Statement on Form 8-A relating to the
FON Group rights, filed April 2, 2003. For a description of the PCS Group Rights
attached  to the  PCS  Stock,  see  Amendment  No.  3 to  Sprint's  Registration
Statement on Form 8-A relating to the PCS Group rights, filed April 2, 2003.

Business Combination Statute

     Kansas has a Business  Combination  Statute which limits  certain  business
combinations   between  Kansas   corporations,   like  Sprint,   and  interested
stockholders,   who  are  certain  persons  beneficially  owning  a  significant
percentage  of  the  voting  stock  of  the   corporation.   However,   business
combinations  with a  stockholder  who  became an  interested  stockholder  in a
transaction  approved by the corporation's  Board of Directors are exempted from
these provisions.

Control Share Acquisition Statute

     Kansas also has a Control  Share  Acquisition  Statute that  provides  that
persons who acquire beneficial ownership of the voting stock of a corporation in
excess of certain  thresholds


                                        9



lose the right to vote the shares acquired in the  transaction  resulting in the
person exceeding one of the thresholds, unless the acquisition is approved by

     o    a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, and

     o    a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting  shares  of  the  corporation
          excluding  the  shares  owned by the person  making  the  acquisition,
          shares  held by the  officers  of the  corporation  and shares held by
          directors  of  the   corporation   who  are  also   employees  of  the
          corporation.

The  thresholds  are 20%, 33 1/3% and 50% of the voting power.  Shares  acquired
directly from the issuing corporation are not subject to the statute.
