I think I do. Its arbitrage based on the collar in place for the deal. The lower bound of the collar is $40. At the lower bound, Sprint shareholders get more WCOM. There is an incentive to buy FON and simultaneously sell WCOM - at least until the WCOM price gets to $40. If it were to fall significantly below that, both FON and WCOM would lose.

I suspect that there is some rotation within telecom by the institutions away from the mega carriers towards companies like LVLT or cable concerns. WCOM is unfairly maligned in that argument.
