The MTA has postponed for a second time the deadline for bids to build and operate a wireless telephone network in some subway stations.

Bidders — which include the country's top four cellular providers — will have until Jan. 18 to submit proposals, agency spokeswoman Mercedes Padilla said.

The date extends yesterday's deadline and an original deadline of Oct. 12 after bidders asked for more time, she said.

Cingular Wireless, the largest wireless services provider, is working with Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel Corp. and T-Mobile to submit a combined bid to provide wireless phone and Internet access in 277 of the city's 468 subway stations.

MTA officials want a wireless network that allows phone calls and Web access on subway platforms, according to the agency's request for procurement. Post Wire Services
