Re: Powertel 06/24 11:26A (DJ) +DJ Powertel, Aerial Commun Up On VoiceStream/OmniPoint Deal Story 3572 =DJ Powertel, Aerial Stk -4: Smaller Cos In Consolidation Warburg Dillon analyst Condon said that if Powertel, which reached a high earlier Thursday of 32 1/2, is taken as part of the GSM consolidation, it willbe a $36 to $40 stock. In addition to major players, the consolidation seems in line to include smaller companies such as Alaskan company Cook Inlet Region Inc., which made an investment in a joint venture to be formed to acquire OmniPoint's entrepreneurial licenses. "VoiceStream will use Cook Inlet to acquire other entrepreneurial blocks,"said Robinson-Humphrey analyst Walter. "Cook Inlet will be the acquisition vehicle for VoiceStream." Because of legal restrictions, VoiceStream is prohibited from buying certain licenses. Cook Inlet owning a majority 50.1% stake in the venture company will bypass those restrictions. VoiceStream will hold a 49.9% stake. -Gregg Henglein; 201-938-5175 (END) DOW JONES NEWS 06-24-99 01:03 PM Additional Codes (N/DJWI, N/DJS, N/MMM, N/HIY, N/HYL, N/STK, N/TEC, N/UTI, M/TEC, M/UTI, P/DTE, R/AL, R/IL, R/MD, R/NME, R/PRM, R/US, R/USC, R/USE, R/USS, R/USW, R/WA)
