Despite the bad feelings in the past between White and Salmasi is there a chance for an alliance between LWIN and Nextwave? Do these two business plans mix at all? Maybe as a way for Leap to get some more value from its licenses without having to sell the extra capacity? At any rate, if Nextwave has the cash, and Leap has sufficient coverage along with Nextwaves DEF maybe together they can cooperate and achieve their individual goals as well as benefit from complementing each other.

The other thing is that Cingular still has no service in Phoenix.. Another 150-200 million from Cingular for 15 Mhz in Phoeinx would be a nice deal for LWIN. Selling only half of their C Block Spectrum in SLC and PHX would/could pay for the 22 markets that they would receive if the Nextwave deal is completed as reported.

I believe that Leap only has 10MHz in Phoenix.

The SLC deal was likely a one-time event. Most of the other markets with 30MHz are located in much smaller cities.
