OMPT: Adell and OMPT holders. here is the good news we have been waiting for: VoiceStream Agrees to Buy Omnipoint for $4.5 Billion <<<<<<<<<<< Bellevue, Washington, June 23 (Bloomberg) -- VoiceStream Wireless Corp. agreed to buy Omnipoint Corp. for about $4.5 billion in stock, cash and assumed debt to create a coast-to- coast U.S. cellular telephone network. VoiceStream said it would pay 0.825 shares and $8 in cash for each share of Omnipoint, or $32.3375 a share, a 55 percent premium over Omnipoint's closing share price today. Omnipoint also had $2.15 billion in long-term debt at the end of the first quarter that VoiceStream will assume. VoiceStream and Omnipoint use the global system for mobile communications, or ''GSM'' -- a digital standard. On their own, their customer growth was hamstrung because they only offered service in limited regions. The combination gives VoiceStream a nationwide network to compete against AT&T Corp., Sprint Corp. and Nextel Communications Inc., which use technologies that differ from GSM and have coast-to-coast coverage. >>>>>>>>>>
