GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! FON and WCOM will never happen. Government will not approve of that marriage, plus it gives AT&T more ammunition to get bigger, which is also something the government doesn't want to happen. WCOM and Sprint PCS is another matter, as WCOM has no wireless telephony to speak of, except Phoenix, I believe. They have acquired MMDS license faster than a sailor collects crabs at a port o' call. So Sprint PCS has appeal, as it fits Bernie's modus operandi of acquiring built entities that are accretive to his earnings. However, Sprint PCS has a drawback, namely they are mostly D & E license, which are 10 MHz of B/W. That doesn't fit well with Sedgemore view about the data market. Bernie is bigger than he is, so Bernie rulz!! DT probably will go Sprint, but I wouldn't exclude a move by GLBX, France Telecom, BT or others in that space. Sprint also has crabs, I mean MMDS license's that make it attractive in the next wireless wave. Aw shucks, I was nice to him. He should have met my 6th grade English teacher, Mrs. Harris.........
