I don't think either WinStar or Teligent would be interested in CVUS. WinStar already owns 700 MHz at 38 GHz in NYC. That's probably enough for their plans. There is also a 38 GHz auction scheduled for later this year if WinStar wanted to pick up any more spectrum. A much more likely target, IMO, for WinStar would be someone like ARTT who could probably be bought for not much more than CVUS, but has 38 GHz licenses across America (and some in Europe). I think WinStar and Teligent have registered to bid for 28 GHz just to fill in gaps in their current coverage. I wouldn't think they'd have plans to bid where they already have pretty substantial holdings. Anyway, persistant rumors have WinStar themselves being bought shortly. Stock price has been moving up fast for no reason. I'd put the chance of a deal happening in the next couple months at probably 50/50. I'd think a much more likely candidate to buy CVUS would be one of the Baby Bells. Whoops, sorry, didn't mean to take your 1000 th post.
