Sprint’s fight with iPCS continues to wage on multiple fronts, all of which have been ongoing for eons — especially the whole iDEN tussle in the wake of Sprint’s merger with Nextel. Most recently, that little soap opera had seen an Illinois court rule that Sprint’s got to divest some iPCS-controlled iDEN markets to bring it back into contractual compliance and restore Mother Nature’s balance, and now Sprint’s gotten around to announcing how that process is going to work. In short, it seems like a free-for-all — the company has apparently put out a few feelers for buyers, but anyone it hasn’t contacted is invited to hook up with Citi, who’s managing the ordeal on Sprint’s behalf. The carrier says that it expects everything to be squared away by January 25 of next year, which is when the court-imposed deadline falls; in the meantime, subscribers, stay cool, because Sprint says that service will continue uninterrupted and expects any transition to be seamless.
Sprint lays out process for selling some iDEN assets, making iPCS happy originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Sun, 14 Jun 2009 03:19:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
