RE: Message 11491800 Two items in this article caught my interest: "Last April, when the industry was abuzz about MCI WorldCom Inc. restarting 5-year-old acquisition talks with Nextel Communications Inc., Bill Esrey phoned Bernie Ebbers with an offer of nationwide wholesale wireless services, a proposal in which Sprint PCS CEO Andy Sukawaty immediately became involved." Means to me that Sprint PCS was/is the PRIZE in this deal. "Sprint PCS should see a boost shortly: MCI WorldCom will begin reselling the company's wireless services, which could help the licensee reach planned break-even sometime next year. With the increased financial backing of a bigger parent, Sprint PCS also could extend its push into data services and consider faster international expansion." They are not waiting for regulatory approval to start building on their synergy. This means even more, faster growth in CDMA handset sales (as Worldcom now pushes CDMA network to all of its data customers) and therefore just made Q's handset division that much more valuable. This also lends credence to Message 11492704 Will next week build on this week?
